Written During the Meeting of the First Southern Congress at Montgomery	A
February	A
	-
I	-
	-
Hath not the morning dawned with added light	B
And shall not evening call another star	C
Out of the infinite regions of the night	B
To mark this day in Heaven At last we are	C
A nation among nations and the world	D
Shall soon behold in many a distant port	E
Another flag unfurled	D
Now come what may whose favor need we court	E
And under God whose thunder need we fear	F
Thank Him who placed us here	G
Beneath so kind a sky the very sun	H
Takes part with us and on our errands run	H
All breezes of the ocean dew and rain	I
Do noiseless battle for us and the Year	F
And all the gentle daughters in her train	I
March in our ranks and in our service wield	J
Long spears of golden grain	I
A yellow blossom as her fairy shield	J
June flings her azure banner to the wind	K
While in the order of their birth	L
Her sisters pass and many an ample field	J
Grows white beneath their steps till now behold	M
Its endless sheets unfold	M
THE SNOW OF SOUTHERN SUMMERS Let the earth	L
Rejoice beneath those fleeces soft and warm	N
Our happy land shall sleep	O
In a repose as deep	O
As if we lay intrenched behind	K
Whole leagues of Russian ice and Arctic storm	N
	-
II	-
	-
And what if mad with wrongs themselves have wrought	P
In their own treachery caught	Q
By their own fears made bold	M
And leagued with him of old	M
Who long since in the limits of the North	R
Set up his evil throne and warred with God	S
What if both mad and blinded in their rage	T
Our foes should fling us down their mortal gage	T
And with a hostile step profane our sod	S
We shall not shrink my brothers but go forth	R
To meet them marshaled by the Lord of Hosts	U
And overshadowed by the mighty ghosts	U
Of Moultrie and of Eutaw who shall foil	V
Auxiliars such as these Nor these alone	W
But every stock and stone	W
Shall help us but the very soil	V
And all the generous wealth it gives to toil	V
And all for which we love our noble land	X
Shall fight beside and through us sea and strand	X
The heart of woman and her hand	X
Tree fruit and flower and every influence	Y
Gentle or grave or grand	X
The winds in our defence	Z
Shall seem to blow to us the hills shall lend	A2
Their firmness and their calm	B2
And in our stiffened sinews we shall blend	A2
The strength of pine and palm	B2
	-
III	-
	-
Nor would we shun the battle ground	C2
Though weak as we are strong	D2
Call up the clashing elements around	C2
And test the right and wrong	D2
On one side creeds that dare to teach	E2
What Christ and Paul refrained to preach	E2
Codes built upon a broken pledge	F2
And Charity that whets a poniard's edge	F2
Fair schemes that leave the neighboring poor	G2
To starve and shiver at the schemer's door	H2
While in the world's most liberal ranks enrolled	M
He turns some vast philanthropy to gold	M
Religion taking every mortal form	N
But that a pure and Christian faith makes warm	N
Where not to vile fanatic passion urged	I2
Or not in vague philosophies submerged	I2
Repulsive with all Pharisaic leaven	H
And making laws to stay the laws of Heaven	H
And on the other scorn of sordid gain	I
Unblemished honor truth without a stain	I
Faith justice reverence charitable wealth	J2
And for the poor and humble laws which give	K2
Not the mean right to buy the right to live	L2
But life and home and health	J2
To doubt the end were want of trust in God	S
Who if he has decreed	M2
That we must pass a redder sea	A
Than that which rang to Miriam's holy glee	A
Will surely raise at need	M2
A Moses with his rod	S
	-
IV	L2
	-
But let our fears if fears we have be still	N2
And turn us to the future Could we climb	O2
Some mighty Alp and view the coming time	O2
The rapturous sight would fill	N2
Our eyes with happy tears	P2
Not only for the glories which the years	Q2
Shall bring us not for lands from sea to sea	A
And wealth and power and peace though these shall be	A
But for the distant peoples we shall bless	R2
And the hushed murmurs of a world's distress	R2
For to give labor to the poor	G2
The whole sad planet o'er	S2
And save from want and crime the humblest door	H2
Is one among the many ends for which	T2
God makes us great and rich	T2
The hour perchance is not yet wholly ripe	U2
When all shall own it but the type	U2
Whereby we shall be known in every land	X
Is that vast gulf which lips our Southern strand	X
And through the cold untempered ocean pours	V2
Its genial streams that far off Arctic shores	V2
May sometimes catch upon the softened breeze	W2
Strange tropic warmth and hints of summer seas	W2
