THE LANDING OF THE PILGRIM FATHERS

THE LANDING OF THE PILGRIM FATHERS
The breaking waves dashed high
On stern and rock-bound coast,
/ And the woods against the stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed.
And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters Ger
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.
What sought they thus ATARI
! Bright Jewels of the mind?
| The wealth of seas? the spoils of war?
They sought faiths pure shrine.
Ay, call it holy ground,
| The land where first they trodl
They left unstained what there they
found
Freedom to worship God!
Felicia D. Hemans..
