HE sleeps not here in hope and prayer	A
His wandering flock had gone before	B
But he the shepherd might not share	A
Their sorrows on the wintry shore	B
	-
Before the Speedwell's anchor swung	C
Ere yet the Mayflower's sail was spread	D
While round his feet the Pilgrims clung	C
The pastor spake and thus he said	D
	-
'Men brethren sisters children dear	E
God calls you hence from over sea	F
Ye may not build by Haerlem Meer	G
Nor yet along the Zuyder Zee	F
	-
'Ye go to bear the saving word	H
To tribes unnamed and shores untrod	H
Heed well the lessons ye have heard	H
From those old teachers taught of God	H
	-
'Yet think not unto them was lent	H
All light for all the coming days	I
And Heaven's eternal wisdom spent	H
In making straight the ancient ways	I
	-
'The living fountain overflows	J
For every flock for every lamb	K
Nor heeds though angry creeds oppose	J
With Luther's dike or Calvin's dam '	-
	-
He spake with lingering long embrace	L
With tears of love and partings fond	H
They floated down the creeping Maas	M
Along the isle of Ysselmond	H
	-
They passed the frowning towers of Briel	N
The 'Hook of Holland's' shelf of sand	H
And grated soon with lifting keel	N
The sullen shores of Fatherland	H
	-
No home for these too well they knew	O
The mitred king behind the throne	P
The sails were set the pennons flew	O
And westward ho for worlds unknown	P
	-
And these were they who gave us birth	Q
The Pilgrims of the sunset wave	R
Who won for us this virgin earth	Q
And freedom with the soil they gave	R
	-
The pastor slumbers by the Rhine	S
In alien earth the exiles lie	T
Their nameless graves our holiest shrine	S
His words our noblest battle cry	T
	-
Still cry them and the world shall hear	U
Ye dwellers by the storm swept sea	F
Ye have not built by Haerlem Meer	G
Nor on the land locked Zuyder Zee	F
