ACROSS THE SEA Across the sea l heard the groans Of Nations ia the intervals Of wind and wave. Their blood and bones Cried out -in torture, crushed by thrones, And sucked by priestly cannibals. 1 dreamed of Freedom alowly gained By martyr meekness, patience, faith And lo! an athlete grimly stained, 'With corded muscles battle-stained Shouting it on the fields of death. ' ... - I turn,me, awe-struck from the sight, Among the clamoring thousands mute; I only know that God is right,' And that the children of the light Shall tread the darkness under foot. I know the pent fire heaves its crust, That sultry skies the bolt will form To smite them clear;that Nature must The balance of her power adjust, . Though with the earthquake and the storm. Cod reigns, and let the earth rejoice! I bow before His sterner plan, Dumb are the organs of my choice; He speaks in battle's stormy voice, His praise is in the wrath of man. Yet, surely as He lives, the day Of peace He promised shall be ours, To fold the flags of war, and lay Its sword and spear to rust awawy, . And sow its ghastly fields with , . ifiowera. .. j ."''' t w' Whittier.
