At last the curse has run its date	A
The heavens grow clear above	B
And on the purple plains of Hate	A
We'll build the throne of Love	B
	-
One great heroic reign divine	C
Shall mock the Elysian isles	D
And love in arms shall only shine	C
Less fair than Love in smiles	D
	-
Old Clio burn thine ancient scroll	E
The scroll of Rome and Greece	F
Our war shall be a parable	G
On all the texts of peace	F
	-
And saints look down with eyes of praise	H
Where on our modern field	I
The new Samaritan forelays	H
The wrongs that other healed	I
	-
What virtue is beyond our prize	H
What deed beneath you sun	J
More Godlike than the prodigies	H
We mortal men have done	J
	-
We wearied of the lagging steed	K
The dove had not a quill	L
To fledge the imaginable speed	K
Of our wild shaft of will	L
	-
'Ah could each word be winged with wind	M
And speech be swift as sight '	-
We cursed the long arms of that blind	M
Dumb herald on the height	N
	-
Dark struggling with a mystery	O
He daily hid in shades	H
As a ghost steams up on the eye	P
Begins a Fate and fades	H
	-
'If like a man dull space could hear	Q
If like a man obey '	-
We seized this earthly hemisphere	R
This senseless skull of clay	S
	-
We drew from Heaven a breath of flame	T
And thro' the lifeless whole	E
Did breathe it till the orb became	T
One brain of burning soul	E
	-
As he o'er whom a tyrant reigns	H
It waits our sovran word	U
And thinks along the living veins	H
The lightnings of its lord	V
	-
What Force can meet our matchless might	N
What Power is not our slave	W
We bound the angel of the light	N
We scourged him in a cave	W
	-
And when we saw the prisoner pine	C
For his immortal land	X
We wrung a ransom half divine	C
From that celestial hand	X
	-
Whose skill the heavy chain subdued	Y
And all a captive's woe	Z
Did tame to such a tempered good	A2
As mortal eyes can know	Z
	-
Who comes who comes o'er mountains laid	B2
Vales lifted straightened ways	H
'Tis he the mightier horse we made	B2
To serve our nobler days	H
	-
But now unheard I saw afar	C2
His cloud of windy mane	D2
Now level as a blazing star	C2
He thunders thro' the plain	D2
	-
The life he needs the food he loves	H
This cold earth bears no more	E2
He fodders on the eternal groves	H
That heard the dragons roar	E2
	-
Strong with the feast he roars and runs	H
And in his maw unfurled	F2
Evolves the folded fires of suns	H
That lit a grander world	F2
	-
Yon bird the swiftest in the sky	P
Before him sprang but he	O
Has passed her as a wind goes by	P
A struggler in the sea	O
	-
With forward beak and forward blows	H
She slides back from his side	G2
While ever as the monster goes	H
With needless power and pride	G2
	-
Disdainful from his fiery jaws	H
He snorts his vital heat	H2
And easy as his shadow draws	H
Long drawn the living street	H2
	-
He's gone Methinks that over him	I2
Like Curtius in the abyss	H
I see great gulphs close rim to rim	I2
And Past and Future kiss	H
	-
Oh Man as from the flood sublime	J2
Some alp rose calm and slow	Z
So from the exhaling floods of time	J2
I see thy stature grow	Z
	-
Long since thy royal brow uncrowned	H2
Allegiant nature saw	H
Long since thine eye of empire frowned	H2
The heavenly thrones to awe	K2
	-
And now the monarch's breast apart	H2
Divides the sinking spray	S
Fit dome for such gigantic heart	H2
As warms so vast a sway	S
	-
Far o'er the watery wilds I see	O
Thy great right arm upsurge	L2
Thy right hand armed with victory	O
Is sunburst on the verge	L2
	-
Arise arise oh sword and sweep	M2
One universal morn	N2
Another throe thou labouring Deep	M2
And all the god is born	N2
	-
So sang a youth of glorious blood	H2
Below the wind hawk shook her wings	H
And lower in its kingdom stood	H2
A tower of ancient kings	H
	-
Above the autumn sky was blue	O2
Far round the golden world was fair	P2
And gun by gun the ramparts blew	O2
A battle on the air	P2
