May Seventeenth in Eidsvold's church united	A
To hallow after fifty years the day	B
When they who there our charter free indited	C
Together for our land were met to pray	B
We both were there with thanks to those great men	D
With thanks to God who to our people then	D
In days of danger courage gave unbounded	C
	-
And when so mighty through the church now sounded	A
'Praise ye the Lord ' lifting our pallid prayer	E
To fellowship with all her sons our brothers	F
I saw you child like weep in secret there	E
Upon the breast we love our common mother's	F
	-
Then I remembered that from boyhood's hour	G
With all your strength to serve her you have striven	H
Your youthful fire your counsel cool have given	H
And till it waned your manhood's wealth of power	G
With blessing then and praise of you I thought	I
In thankful prayer as one of those who fought	I
To shield our land from storms of fate's hard weather	G
Till 'neath the roof in peace we sat together	G
	-
Of you I thought but so think few and fewer	G
Your manhood's fame ere you yourself has crumbled	J
And you alas will not find justice truer	G
Till you and yours one day have fallen humbled	J
	-
For see the roads you drew o'er hill and plain	K
For all our people's onward pressing longing	L
You dare not travel with the joyous train	K
That greater grows while towards its future thronging	L
You knew not what it was your labor wrought	I
When steam and powder bursting every barrier	G
Gave new born cravings each its speedy carrier	G
And to the people's spirit power brought	I
The new day's work as 't were the tempest's welter	G
In din about you seemed a dream a fable	M
And with your like you built in fear a shelter	G
From soul unrest a looming tower of Babel	M
	-
While now you wait for the impending fight	N
With gentle eye and stately head all hoary	O
And o'er the mountains gleams the morning's glory	O
Your foes half hid amid the mists of night	N
As from an outpost in the wooded wild	P
These words I send of peace a token mild	P
	-
You fear the people 'Tis your own that rally	O
And like the fog arisen from the valley	O
You think them rebels void of sense and oneness	Q
Yes spring's full floods obey no rule precise	R
Storm squalls and slush render the roads less nice	R
The snow's pure white is partly soiled to dunness	R
But spring is born The man of genius free	O
Prophetic heeds its holy harmony	O
For genius shares the soul of what shall be	O
This you have not and never had an hour	G
And so you shrink before the people's power	G
	-
You were a foreman with the gift of leading	L
When pioneers cleared up a pathless tract	S
Your lucid thinking and your gracious tact	S
Oft helped them over obstacles impeding	L
But what new growths the ancient fields have filled	T
From western seed to feed our land's wants tilled	T
And what new light shines through your window pane	K
Longing for truth beneath religion's reign	K
And what new things but whispering we say	R
And what foretells the dawning reckoning day	R
You fail to understand and find but madness	R
In our young nation's fairest growth and gladness	R
	-
You answer Poet's deeming is but dreaming	L
And in the statesman's art most unbeseeming	L
I answer None has might men's life to sway	R
If impotent the worth of dreams to weigh	R
From cravings powers that seek their form ascending	L
They fill the air their right to be defending	L
Till all men wakened to one goal are tending	L
His nation's dreams are all the statesman's life	U
Create his might direct his aim in strife	U
And if he this forgets the next dreams blooming	L
Bring forth another unto death him dooming	L
	-
The tempest clouds that mount afresh and thicken	H
Cannot so dense before the morn's light hover	G
That we may not through cloud rifts clear discover	G
Great thoughts that new born victories shall quicken	H
	-
Such thoughts are radiant over me to day	R
And to my heart the warmer blood is streaming	L
And all we live for all that we are dreaming	L
Its summons sends and strengthens for the fray	R
	-
The war horns soon beneath the woods shall bray	R
Through dewy night th' assailing columns dash	V
Amid the sudden gleams of shot and slash	V
The fog dissolve before our new born day	R
	-
Soon though you threaten will the heights be taken	H
For future ages and our nation's soul	W
Can thence o'erlook the land in might unshaken	H
With even hand and right to rule the whole	W
It soon shall roll war's billows on to battle	M
While from the clouds the fathers' weapons rattle	M
O aged man look round you where you stand	T
For soon you have against you all our land	T
	-
But when you fall defeated on the field	T
Then shall we say by your inverted shield	T
He stood against us since he knew not better	G
A noble knight and never honor's debtor	G
