Here Freedom stood by slaughtered friend and foe	A
And ere the wrath paled or that sunset died	B
Looked through the ages then with eyes aglow	A
Laid them to wait that future side by side	B
	-
Lines for a monument to the American and British soldiers of the Revolutionary War who fell on the Princeton battlefield and were buried in one grave	C
	-
Now lamp lit gardens in the blue dusk shine	D
Through dogwood red and white	E
And round the gray quadrangles line by line	D
The windows fill with light	E
Where Princeton calls to Magdalen tower to tower	F
Twin lanthorns of the law	G
And those cream white magnolia boughs embower	F
The halls of Old Nassau	G
	-
The dark bronze tigers crouch on either side	B
Where redcoats used to pass	H
And round the bird loved house where Mercer died	B
And violets dusk the grass	H
By Stony Brook that ran so red of old	I
But sings of friendship now	J
To feed the old enemy's harvest fifty fold	I
The green earth takes the plow	J
	-
Through this May night if one great ghost should stray	F
With deep remembering eyes	K
Where that old meadow of battle smiles away	F
Its blood stained memories	L
If Washington should walk where friend and foe	A
Sleep and forget the past	M
Be sure his unquenched heart would leap to know	A
Their souls are linked at last	M
	-
Be sure he walks in shadowy buff and blue	N
Where those dim lilacs wave	C
He bends his head to bless as dreams come true	N
The promise of that grave	C
Then with a vaster hope than thought can scan	O
Touching his ancient sword	P
Prays for that mightier realm of God in man	O
Hasten thy kingdom Lord	P
	-
Land of our hope land of the singing stars	Q
Type of the world to be	R
The vision of a world set free from wars	S
Takes life takes form from thee	R
Where all the jarring nations of this earth	T
Beneath the all blessing sun	U
Bring the new music of mankind to birth	T
And make the whole world one	U
	-
And those old comrades rise around him there	F
Old foemen side by side	B
With eyes like stars upon the brave night air	F
And young as when they died	B
To hear your bells O beautiful Princeton towers	V
Ring for the world's release	W
They see you piercing like gray swords through flowers	V
And smile from souls at peace	W
