Many forms belong to greatness	A
He who now has left us bore it	B
As a doubt that made him sleepless	A
But at last gave revelation	C
As a sight enhancing power	D
That gave visions joined with anguish	E
Over all beyond our seeing	F
As a flight on labor's pinions	A
From the thought unto the certain	C
Thence aloft to intuition	C
Restless haste and changeful ardor	D
God inspired and unceasing	F
Through the wide world ever storming	F
Took its load of thoughts and doubtings	A
Bore them threw them off and took them	G
Never tired never listless	A
	-
Still for he had one haven of rest	H
Family life peace bestowing	F
Powers of light gave repose to his breast	H
Calm 'mid the strife of his knowing	F
	-
Softly with music his wife led him in	I
Unto the sweet smelling birches	A
Unto the flowers and still deeper in	I
Under the fir forest's churches	A
	-
Daughters drew near him in love secure	J
Cooling his forehead's hot fever	D
Gently their message of innocence pure	J
Made him a childlike believer	D
	-
Or he joined glad in their light hearted game	K
Colors and music surrounding	F
Gone were the clouds in the heavens came	K
Sparkling of star light abounding	F
	-
But as in an autumn evening	F
Silent dreamy dark sheet lightning	F
Wakens thought and feeling stormward	H
Or as in a boat a sudden	C
Stroke when gliding as in slumber	D
On between the cliffs that tower	D
In a quiet balmy spring night	H
But a single stroke and soft then	L
Echo takes it up and tosses	A
To and fro 'mid walls of mountains	A
Thrush and grouse send forth their wood calls	A
Deer rise up and listen keenly	M
Stones are rolling all are up now	N
Dogs are barking bells are clanging	F
Ushering in the strife of daytime	O
Thus could oft a recollection	C
Down light falling in that playtime	O
Waken all his thought and doubting	F
	-
Then it roved the wide world over	D
Then it hottest burned within him	O
But it lavished light for others	A
	-
Rise of races spread of language	P
Birth of names all laws' close kinship	Q
Small and great in equal passion	C
Equal haste and doubting goal ward	H
There where others stones saw only	M
He saw precious gems that glistened	H
Sunk his shaft the mine to deepen	C
And where others thought the treasure	D
Sure and safe for years a hundred	H
Doubt possessed him as he burrowed	H
Day and night and saw it vanish	E
But the unrest that gave power	D
Made him oft the goal pass over	D
While to others he gave clearness	A
Intuitions new deceived him	O
Therefore where he once had striven	C
Thither he would turn him never	D
Changed his ground and shifted labor	D
From his own thought conquests fleeing	F
But his thoughts pursued untiring	F
Followed growing as the fire	D
Kindled in Brazilian forests	A
Storm wind makes and storm wind follows	A
Where before no foot had trodden	C
Ways were burned for many millions	A
	-
Northward stretches Scandinavia	R
'Mid the fog that dims the Ice sea	A
Darkness of the months of winter	D
Lays its weight on sea and mountain	C
Like our lands are too our peoples	A
Their beginnings prehistoric	F
Stretch afar in fog and darkness	A
But as through the fog a lighthouse	A
Or as Northern Lights o'er darkness	A
Gleamed his thought with light and guidance	A
When with filial fond remembrance	A
Tenderly he sought and questioned	H
Searching for his people's pathways	A
Names and graves and rusty weapons	A
Stones and tools their answer gave him	O
Through primeval Asian forests	A
Over steppes and sands of deserts	A
'Neath a thousand years that moldered	H
Saw he caravan made footsteps	A
Seek a new home in the Northland	H
And as they the rivers followed	H
Followed them his thought abundant	H
Into Nature's All full flowing	F
	-
See his restless soul's creation	C
Harmony of truth he yearned for	S
Found it not but wonder working	F
New discoveries and pathways	A
Like those alchemists aforetime	O
Who though gold was all their seeking	F
Found not that but mighty forces	A
Which to day the world are moving	F
	-
	-
	-
Deepest ground of all his being	F
Was the polar power of contrast	H
For his thought to music wakened	H
By the touch of	T
Northern Saga	R
	-
Vibrated melodious longing	F
Toward the	R
South	U
forever tending	F
In his eye the lambent fire	D
Of his thought the glint showed kinship	Q
With the free improvisator	D
In the land of warmth and vineyards	A
And his swiftly changing feeling	F
And his all consuming ardor	D
That could toil the livelong winter	D
Till caprice the fruit discarded	H
That immeasurable richness	A
Wherein thoughts and moods and music	F
Joy and sorrow jest and earnest	H
Gleamed and played without cessation	C
All a Southern day resembled	H
	-
Therefore was his life a journey	A
Towards the South in constant movement	H
Through the mists of intuition	C
From the darker to the brighter	D
From the colder to the warmer	D
On the bridge of ceaseless labor	D
Bearing over sea and mountain	C
	-
Oh the time with wife beside him	O
And his bonny playmate sisters	A
Gladsome children winsome daughters	A
When he stood where evening sunshine	V
Glowed on Capitol and Forum	O
Stood where from the great world city	A
As from history's very fountain	C
Knowledge wells in streams of fullness	A
Where a clearness large and cloudless	A
Falls upon the bygone ages	A
That have laid them down to rest here	D
Where to him the Northern searcher	D
It would seem he had been straying	F
Too long lost in history's fogland	A
Rowing round the deep fjords' surface	A
Stood where dead men burst the earth clods	A
And themselves come forth for witness	A
In their heavy marble togas	A
Where the goddesses of Delos	A
In the frescoed halls are dancing	F
As two thousand years before now	N
Pantheon and Coliseum	O
In their spacious fate have sheltered	A
All the world's swift evolution	C
Where a Hermes from that corner	D
Saw the footsteps firm of Cato	A
Pontifex in the procession	C
Saw then Nero as Apollo	A
Lifted up take sacrifices	A
Saw then Gregory the wrathful	A
Riding forth to rule in spirit	A
Over all the known world's kingdoms	A
Saw then Cola di Rienzi	A
	-
Homage pay to freedom's goddess	A
'Mid the Roman people's paeans	A
Saw Pope Leo and his princes	A
Choose instead of the Lord Jesus	A
Aristotle dead and Plato	A
Saw again how stouter epochs	A
Raised the Church of Papal power	D
Till the Frenchman overthrew it	A
And exalted Nature's Godhead	A
Saw anew then wonted custom	O
In its pious still processions	A
With a Lamb the great world's ruler	D
All this saw the little Hermes	A
On the corner near the temple	A
And the wise man from the Northland	A
Saw that Hermes and his visions	A
	-
Yes when over Rome he stood there	D
In that high historic clearness	A
And his eye the mountain ridges	A
Followed toward the red of evening	F
Then all beams of longing focused	A
In a blessed intuition	C
And he saw a church before him	O
Greater far than that of nature	D
And he felt a peace descending	F
Larger far than all the present	A
	-
When the second time he came there	D
After days and nights of labor	D
Hard as were it for redemption	C
Then the Lord Himself gave welcome	O
Led him gently thither saying	F
'Peace be with thee Thou hast conquered '	-
	-
But to us with sorrow stricken	C
Turned the Lord with comfort saying	F
'When	C
I	-
call who then dares murmur	D
That the called man had not finished '	-
	-
Whoso dies he here had finished	A
Spite our sorrow we believe it	A
Hold that He who unrest giveth	W
The discoverer's disquiet	A
That drove Newton drove Columbus	A
Also knows when rest is needed	A
	-
But we question while reviewing	F
All that mighty thought armada	A
Now disbanded home returning	F
Who again shall reunite it	A
	-
For when	C
he	A
cut his war arrow	A
Lords and liegemen soon were mustered	A
And to aid from Sweden Denmark	F
England France swift flying vessels	A
Coursed the sea ways toward his standard	A
	-
Royal was that fleet and mighty	A
By our shore at anchor lying	F
We were wont to see it near us	A
Or to hear the wondrous tidings	A
Of its cruises and its conquests	A
	-
What it won we own forever	D
But the fleet is sailing homeward	A
Here we stan	C
