Poem

This lesson only grasped through time

Our view emerging in the climb 

 

Its vexed infancy played out the longest:

Our army without guns is the strongest  

 

So sing the old songs, drink deeply

And with tears drying become sleepy

 

To dream swift, golden spears of sun-rays

On the eve of our momentous day
