Bronze (Johnson)/Concord

by Georgia Douglas Camp Johnson

CONCORD

Nor shall I in sorrow repine,But offer a pæan of praiseTo the infinite God of my daysWho marshals the pivoting spheresThrough the intricate maze of the years,Who loosens the luminous floodThat lightens the purlieus of men,I shall not in sorrow repineTo break the eternal Amen!
