From an ode 'In Commemoration of the Founding of theA
Massachusetts Bay Colony 'B
-
The morn that breaks its heart of goldC
Above the purple hillsD
The eve that spillsD
Its nautilus splendor where the sea is rolledC
The night that leads the vast procession inE
Of stars and dreamsF
The beauty that shall never die or passG
The winds that spinE
Of rain the misty mantles of the grassG
And thunder raiment of the mountain streamsF
The sunbeams penciling with gold the duskH
Green cowls of ancient woodsI
The shadows thridding veiled with muskH
The moon pathed solitudesI
Call to my Fancy saying 'Follow follow '-
Till following I seeI
Fair as a cascade in a rainbowed hollowJ
A dream a shape take formK
Clad on with every charmL
-
The vision of that IdealityC
Which lured the pioneer in wood and hillM
And beckoned him from earth and skyN
The dream that cannot dieN
Their children's children did fulfillM
In stone and iron and woodC
Out of the solitudeC
And by a stalwart actC
Create a mighty factC
A Nation now that standsI
Clad on with hope and beauty strength and songO
Eternal young and strongO
Planting her heel on wrongO
Her starry banner in triumphant handsI
-
Within her face the roseI
Of Alleghany dawnsI
Limbed with Alaskan snowsI
Floridian starlight in her eyesI
Eyes stern as steel yet tender as a fawn'sI
And in her hairP
The rapture of her rivers and the dareP
As perishless as truthQ
That o'er the crags of her Sierras fliesI
Urging the eagle ardor through her veinsI
Behold her whereP
Around her radiant youthQ
-
The spirits of the cataracts and plainsI
The genii of the floods and forests meetC
In rainbow mists circling her brow and feetC
The forces vast that sitC
In session round her powers paracleteC
That guard her presence awful forms and fairP
Making secure her placeI
Guiding her surely as the worlds through spaceI
Do laws sidereal edicts thunder litC
Of skyed eternity in splendor borneR
On planetary wings of night and mornR

-
From her high place she seesI
Her long procession of accomplished actsI
Cloud winged refulgencesI
Of thoughts in steel and stone of marble dreamsI
Lift up tremendous battlementsI
Sun blinding built of factsI
While in her soul she seemsI
Listening to hear as from innumerable tentsI
AEonian thunder wonder and applauseI
Of all the heroic ages that are goneS
Feeling secureT
That as her Past her Future shall endureT
As did her CauseI
When redly broke the dawnS
Of fierce rebellion and beneath its starU
The firmaments of warV
Poured down infernal rainW
And North and South lay bleeding mid their slainW
And now no less shall her great Cause prevailX
More so in peace than warV
Through the thrilled wire and electric railX
Carrying her message farU
Shaping her dreamY
Within the brain of steamY
That with a myriad handsI
Labors unceasingly and knits her landsI
In firmer union joining plain and streamY
With steel and binding shore to shoreV
With bands of iron nerves and arteriesI
Along whose adamant forever pourV
Her concrete thoughts her tireless energiesI
