War's fadeless records all around, we see,
And our emotion responsively stirs
As we read the autobiography
Of a nation writ in such characters!
And our emotion responsively stirs
As we read the autobiography
Of a nation writ in such characters!
Land, rising and falling so gracefully,
Thou'rt but Nature's breathing made visible,
As her heart pulsates, rythmatically,
To the music of meanings unspeakable!
Thou'rt but Nature's breathing made visible,
As her heart pulsates, rythmatically,
To the music of meanings unspeakable!
Oh, wonderful ride, by coach and by boat!
Oh, visions of unimagined delight!
Truly, 'twas God's own finger which wrote
That poem in Nature-words, none may recite!
Oh, visions of unimagined delight!
Truly, 'twas God's own finger which wrote
That poem in Nature-words, none may recite!
