O the clammy cold NovemberB
And the winter white and deadC
And the terror dumb with stuporB
And the sky a sheet of leadC
And events that came resoundingD
With the cry that All was lostE
Like the thunder cracks of massy iceF
In intensity of frostE
Bursting one upon anotherB
Through the horror of the calmG
The paralysis of armH
In the anguish of the heartI
And the hollowness and dearthJ
The appealings of the motherB
To brother and to brotherB
Not in hatred so to partI
And the fissure in the hearthK
Growing momently more wideL
Then the glances 'tween the FatesM
And the doubt on every sideL
And the patience under gloomN
In the stoniness that waitsM
The finality of doomN

II-
-
So the winter died despairingD
And the weary weeks of LentO
And the ice bound rivers meltedP
And the tomb of Faith was rentO
O the rising of the PeopleQ
Came with springing of the grassR
They rebounded from dejectionS
And Easter came to passR
And the young were all elationS
Hearing Sumter's cannon roarT
And they thought how tame the NationS
In the age that went beforeT
And Michael seemed giganticalQ
The Arch fiend but a dwarfU
And at the towers of ErebusR
Our striplings flung the scoffV
But the elders with forebodingD
Mourned the days forever o'erB
And re called the forest proverbW
The Iroquois' old sawR
Grief to every graybeardX
When young Indians lead the warT
