THE NAME OF FRANCE
Give us a name to fill the mind
With the shining thoughts that lead mankind,
The glory of learning, the joy of art,--
A name that tells of a splendid part
In the long, long toil and the strenuous fight
Of the human race to win its way
From the feudal darkness into the day
Of Freedom, Brotherhood, Equal Right,--
A name like a star, a name of light--
I give you

Were in their strength subdued,
The virgin Earth Gave instant birth
To springs that ne'er did flow
That in the sun Did

And all around rare flowers did blow
The wild rose pale Perfumed the gale
And the queenly lily adown the dale

Corneille - Le Cid |
|
When I remember all
The friends, so link'd together,
I've seen around me fall
Like leaves in wintry weather,
I feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet-hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but he
departed!

Down poured her hair like wine,
Her pale, proud face looked sadly through
--A moon in a wood of pine--
She
breathed
a spell in a low, sweet tone
Which none of woman born could disown.

But royal nurses early pluck out both his eyes!
