James Russell Lowell,
Ode Recited at the Harvard Commemoration
(1865)
“ But up the steep, amid the wrath And shock of deadly-hostile creeds, Where the world's best hope and stay By battle's flashes gropes a desperate way, And every turf the fierce foot clings to bleeds. ”
James Russell Lowell,
Ode Recited at the Harvard Commemoration
(1865)
“ And through thine enemies hath wrought thy peace! Bow down in prayer and praise! No poorest in thy borders but may now Life to the juster skies a man's enfranchised brow, O Beautiful! my Country! ours once more! ”
