I	A
	-
Hath not man at his noblest	B
An air of something more than man	C
A hint of grace immortal	D
Born of his greatly daring to assist the gods	E
In conquering these shaggy wastes	F
These desert worlds	G
And planting life and order in these stars	H
So Woman at her best	I
Her eyes are bright with visions and with dreams	J
That triumph over time	K
Her plumed thought wing for wing is mate with	L
his	M
	-
II	A
	-
The world rolls on from dream to dream	N
And 'neath the vast impersonal revenges of its	O
going	P
	-
Crushed fools that cried defeat	Q
Lie dead amid the dust they prophesied	R
Ye doubters of man's larger destiny	S
Ye that despair	T
Look backward down the vistaed years	U
And all is battle and all victory	S
Man fought to be a man	C
Through painful centuries the slow beast fought	V
Blinded and baffled fought to gain his soul	W
Wild hairy shag and feared of shadows	X
Yet the clouds	Y
Made him strange signals that he puzzled o'er	Z
Beast child and ape	A2
And yet the winds harped to him and the sea	S
Rolled in upon his consciousness	B2
Its tides of wonder and romance	C2
Uncouth and caked with mire	D2
And yet the stars said something to him and the	E2
sun	F2
Declared itself a god	G2
The lagging cycles turned at last	H2
The pictures into thought	V
Thought flowered in soul	W
But oh the myriad weary years	U
Ere Caliban was Shakespeare's self	I2
And Darwin's ape had Darwin's brain	J2
The battling battling and the steep ascent	K2
The fight to hold the little gained	L2
The loss the doubt the shaken heart	M2
The stubborn groping slow recovery	S
But looking backward toward the dim beginnings	N2
You that despair	T
Hath he not climbed and conquered	O2
Look backward and all's Victory	S
What coward looks forward and foresees defeat	Q
	-
III	A
	-
Who climbed beside him and who fought	V
And suffered and was glad	P2
Is she a lesser thing than he	S
Who stained the slopes with bloody feet or stood	Q2
Beside him on some hard won eminence of hope	R2
Exulting as the bold dawn swept	S2
A harper hand along the ringing hills	T2
Flesh of his flesh and of his soul the soul	W
Hath she not fought hath she not climbed	U2
	-
And how is she a lesser thing	P
Nay if she ever was	V2
'Twas we that made her so who called her queen	W2
But kept her slave	X2
	-
IV	X2
	-
Had she not courage for the fight	Y2
Hath she not courage for the years to come	Z2
Hath she not courage who descends alone	A3
How pitifully alone except for Love	X2
Where man's thought even falters that would	Q2
follow	B3
Into the shadowy abyss	C3
Through vast and murmurous caverns dark with	L
crowding dread	D3
And terrible with hovering wings	N2
To battle there with Death to battle	D
There with Death and wrest from him	E3
O Conqueror and Mother	Z
Life	X2
	-
V	X2
	-
Hath she too long dwelt dream bound in the world	F3
of love	X2
	-
Unconscious of the sterner throes	X
The more austere impersonal wide faith	G3
The urge that drives Christs to the cross	H3
Not for the love of one beloved	I3
But for the love of all	J3
If so she wakes	K3
Wakes and demands a share in all man's bolder	Z
destinies	L3
The high audacious ventures of the soul	W
That thinks to scale the bastioned slopes	M3
And strike stark Chaos from his throne	A3
We still stand in the dawn of time	K
Not meanly let us stand nor shaken with low	B3
doubts	N3
For there beyond the verge and margin of gray cloud	O3
The future thrills with promise	B2
And the skies are tremulous with golden light	Y2
She too would share those victories	L3
Comrade and more than comrade	P2
New times new needs confront us now	P3
We must evolve new powers	Q3
To battle with	L
We must go forward now together	Z
Or perchance we fail	R3
