The windy years have strewn down distant ways And in the halls still doth thy spirit sing Songs of old memory amid thy present tears Or hope of days to come half sad with many fears
Though along thy paths no longer runs While war untimely takes thy many sons No tide of treason can thy glory drown Robed in sad majesty, the stars thy crown I am the blood!
Old mornings dawn I am not the light you see But only that which is falling on me
