Glorious daughter of time Thou of the mild blue eye	A
Thou of the virginal forehead pallid unfurrowed of tears	B
Thou of the strong white hands with fingers dipped in the dye	A
Of the blood that quickened the fathers of thee in the ancient years	C
Leave thou the path of the beasts Return thou again to the hills	D
Forsake thou the deserts of death where ever the burning thirst	E
Flames in the throat for blood for the vile desire that kills	D
Where the treacherous sands by the rebel cerastes are cursed	E
And the wastes are strewn with the bones of folly and hate	F
Return where the sunlight gladdens the places of green	G
Where the stars comes forth the heralds of faith and fate	F
And the winds of eternity breathe from a day unseen	G
	-
Thou what hast thou to do with a time burnt out and done	H
With the old Serbonian bog the marshes where nations were lost	I
Where wailings are heard of the dead of the slaughtered Roman and Hun	H
And phosphorent lights arise in the hands of a stricken ghost	J
Dreaming of splendors of battle that glanced from a million shields	K
When the C sars pillaged for lust of gold and hunger of power	L
And the giants of Gothland festered and stank on the stretching fields	K
And the gods of the living were cursed too weak to reveal the hour	L
When they should triumph and others should writhe in a dread defeat	M
In the day of thy grace O fair and false to thy fathers and time	N
O thou whom the snares of kings already encompass thy feet	M
With thy singing robes besprent with the old Egyptian slime	N
	-
But thou hast harkened to guile to the cunning words of shame	O
To the tempter with pieces of gold and the praise of the drunken throng	P
Scornfully push from their hands the crown of a common fame	O
Not made for thy peaceful brows for thou wert not born for wrong	P
Thou art the fruit of the groaning cycles of hope and love	Q
Told of by maddened prophets who never beheld thy face	R
Who drew from the teeming earth and the fetterless sky above	Q
That man was made to be free and to stamp under foot the mace	R
How should thy innocent eyes ever leer with a reddened look	S
Or thy hair be scented save of the measureless sea	T
Or thy feet know the ways of deceit wrote out in the murderous book	S
By monarchs who shrank from the scourging and doom of thy strength and thee	T
	-
Beloved of time and of fate cherished of justice and truth	U
Yet thou art free to do to choose the ill and to die	A
To squander thy beauty for hire to waste thy eternal youth	U
For thou art eternal if thou heedst them not but pass by	A
Pass and return to the mountains of freedom and peace	V
Where heavenward flame the fires where the torches may be relumed	A
To girdle the world with the light that was kindled in olden Greece	V
Or that the sparks may be scattered wherever injustice has doomed	A
Darkness to be the portion of those who famish for light	A
Be thou the great rock's shadow cast in a weary land	A
Be thou a star of guidance true in a wintry night	A
Be thou thyself and thyself alone as heaven hath planned	A
