Send but a song oversea for us	A
Heart of their hearts who are free	B
Heart of their singer to be for us	A
More than our singing can be	B
Ours in the tempest at error	C
With no light but the twilight of terror	C
Send us a song oversea	B
	-
Sweet smelling of pine leaves and grasses	D
And blown as a tree through and through	E
With the winds of the keen mountain passes	D
And tender as sun smitten dew	E
Sharp tongued as the winter that shakes	F
The wastes of your limitless lakes	F
Wide eyed as the sea line's blue	E
	-
O strong winged soul with prophetic	G
Lips hot with the bloodheats of song	H
With tremor of heartstrings magnetic	G
With thoughts as thunders in throng	H
With consonant ardours of chords	I
That pierce men's souls as with swords	I
And hale them hearing along	H
	-
Make us too music to be with us	A
As a word from a world's heart warm	J
To sail the dark as a sea with us	A
Full sailed outsinging the storm	J
A song to put fire in our ears	K
Whose burning shall burn up tears	L
Whose sign bid battle reform	J
	-
A note in the ranks of a clarion	M
A word in the wind of cheer	N
To consume as with lightning the carrion	M
That makes time foul for us here	O
In the air that our dead things infest	P
A blast of the breath of the west	P
Till east way as west way is clear	N
	-
Out of the sun beyond sunset	Q
From the evening whence morning shall be	B
With the rollers in measureless onset	Q
With the van of the storming sea	B
With the world wide wind with the breath	R
That breaks ships driven upon death	R
With the passion of all things free	B
	-
With the sea steeds footless and frantic	G
White myriads for death to bestride	Q
In the charge of the ruining Atlantic	G
Where deaths by regiments ride	Q
With clouds and clamours of waters	S
With a long note shriller than slaughter's	S
On the furrowless fields world wide	Q
	-
With terror with ardour and wonder	C
With the soul of the season that wakes	S
When the weight of a whole year's thunder	C
In the tidestream of autumn breaks	S
Let the flight of the wide winged word	Q
Come over come in and be heard	Q
Take form and fire for our sakes	S
	-
For a continent bloodless with travail	T
Here toils and brawls as it can	U
And the web of it who shall unravel	V
Of all that peer on the plan	U
Would fain grow men but they grow not	Q
And fain be free but they know not	Q
One name for freedom and man	U
	-
One name not twain for division	M
One thing not twain from the birth	W
Spirit and substance and vision	M
Worth more than worship is worth	W
Unbeheld unadored undivined	Q
The cause the centre the mind	Q
The secret and sense of the earth	W
	-
Here as a weakling in irons	S
Here as a weanling in bands	S
As a prey that the stake net environs	S
Our life that we looked for stands	S
And the man child naked and dear	N
Democracy turns on us here	O
Eyes trembling with tremulous hands	S
	-
It sees not what season shall bring to it	Q
Sweet fruit of its bitter desire	C
Few voices it hears yet sing to it	Q
Few pulses of hearts reaspire	C
Foresees not time nor forehears	S
The noises of imminent years	S
Earthquake and thunder and fire	C
	-
When crowned and weaponed and curbless	S
It shall walk without helm or shield	Q
The bare burnt furrows and herbless	S
Of war's last flame stricken field	Q
Till godlike equal with time	X
It stand in the sun sublime	X
In the godhead of man revealed	Q
	-
Round your people and over them	Y
Light like raiment is drawn	Z
Close as a garment to cover them	Y
Wrought not of mail nor of lawn	Z
Here with hope hardly to wear	C
Naked nations and bare	C
Swim sink strike out for the dawn	Z
	-
Chains are here and a prison	M
Kings and subjects and shame	A2
If the God upon you be arisen	M
How should our songs be the same	A2
How in confusion of change	B2
How shall we sing in a strange	B2
Land songs praising his name	A2
	-
God is buried and dead to us	S
Even the spirit of earth	W
Freedom so have they said to us	S
Some with mocking and mirth	W
Some with heartbreak and tears	S
And a God without eyes without ears	S
Who shall sing of him dead in the birth	W
	-
The earth god Freedom the lonely	B
Face lightening the footprint unshod	Q
Not as one man crucified only	B
Nor scourged with but one life's rod	Q
The soul that is substance of nations	S
Reincarnate with fresh generations	S
The great god Man which is God	Q
	-
But in weariest of years and obscurest	Q
Doth it live not at heart of all things	S
The one God and one spirit a purest	Q
Life fed from unstanchable springs	S
Within love within hatred it is	S
And its seed in the stripe as the kiss	S
And in slaves is the germ and in kings	S
	-
Freedom we call it for holier	C
Name of the soul's there is none	M
Surelier it labours if slowlier	C
Than the metres of star or of sun	M
Slowlier than life into breath	R
Surelier than time into death	R
It moves till its labour be done	M
	-
Till the motion be done and the measure	C
Circling through season and clime	A2
Slumber and sorrow and pleasure	C
Vision of virtue and crime	A2
Till consummate with conquering eyes	S
A soul disembodied it rise	S
From the body transfigured of time	A2
	-
Till it rise and remain and take station	M
With the stars of the worlds that rejoice	S
Till the voice of its heart's exultation	M
Be as theirs an invariable voice	S
By no discord of evil estranged	Q
By no pause by no breach in it changed	Q
By no clash in the chord of its choice	S
	-
It is one with the world's generations	S
With the spirit the star and the sod	Q
With the kingless and king stricken nations	S
With the cross and the chain and the rod	Q
The most high the most secret most lonely	B
The earth soul Freedom that only	B
Lives and that only is God	Q
