- | |
The morn that breaks its heart of gold | C |
Above the purple hills | D |
The eve that spills | D |
Its nautilus splendor where the sea is rolled | C |
The night that leads the vast procession in | E |
Of stars and dreams | F |
The beauty that shall never die or pass | G |
The winds that spin | E |
Of rain the misty mantles of the grass | G |
And thunder raiment of the mountain streams | F |
The sunbeams penciling with gold the dusk | H |
Green cowls of ancient woods | I |
The shadows thridding veiled with musk | H |
The moon pathed solitudes | I |
Call to my Fancy saying 'Follow follow ' | - |
Till following I see | I |
Fair as a cascade in a rainbowed hollow | J |
A dream a shape take form | K |
Clad on with every charm | L |
- | |
The vision of that Ideality | C |
Which lured the pioneer in wood and hill | M |
And beckoned him from earth and sky | N |
The dream that cannot die | N |
Their children's children did fulfill | M |
In stone and iron and wood | C |
Out of the solitude | C |
And by a stalwart act | C |
Create a mighty fact | C |
A Nation now that stands | I |
Clad on with hope and beauty strength and song | O |
Eternal young and strong | O |
Planting her heel on wrong | O |
Her starry banner in triumphant hands | I |
- | |
Within her face the rose | I |
Of Alleghany dawns | I |
Limbed with Alaskan snows | I |
Floridian starlight in her eyes | I |
Eyes stern as steel yet tender as a fawn's | I |
And in her hair | P |
The rapture of her rivers and the dare | P |
As perishless as truth | Q |
That o'er the crags of her Sierras flies | I |
Urging the eagle ardor through her veins | I |
Behold her where | P |
Around her radiant youth | Q |
- | |
The spirits of the cataracts and plains | I |
The genii of the floods and forests meet | C |
In rainbow mists circling her brow and feet | C |
The forces vast that sit | C |
In session round her powers paraclete | C |
That guard her presence awful forms and fair | P |
Making secure her place | I |
Guiding her surely as the worlds through space | I |
Do laws sidereal edicts thunder lit | C |
Of skyed eternity in splendor borne | R |
On planetary wings of night and morn | R |

From her high place she sees | I |
Her long procession of accomplished acts | I |
Cloud winged refulgences | I |
Of thoughts in steel and stone of marble dreams | I |
Lift up tremendous battlements | I |
Sun blinding built of facts | I |
While in her soul she seems | I |
Listening to hear as from innumerable tents | I |
AEonian thunder wonder and applause | I |
Of all the heroic ages that are gone | S |
Feeling secure | T |
That as her Past her Future shall endure | T |
As did her Cause | I |
When redly broke the dawn | S |
Of fierce rebellion and beneath its star | U |
The firmaments of war | V |
Poured down infernal rain | W |
And North and South lay bleeding mid their slain | W |
And now no less shall her great Cause prevail | X |
More so in peace than war | V |
Through the thrilled wire and electric rail | X |
Carrying her message far | U |
Shaping her dream | Y |
Within the brain of steam | Y |
That with a myriad hands | I |
Labors unceasingly and knits her lands | I |
In firmer union joining plain and stream | Y |
With steel and binding shore to shore | V |
With bands of iron nerves and arteries | I |
Along whose adamant forever pour | V |
Her concrete thoughts her tireless energies | I |
