e Manhattan Bay,
Thou who hast made thy dwelling fair
"Through many a land your journey ran,
'Tis fine to see the Old World, and travel up and down
To thee, plain hero of a rugged race,
Two dwellings, Peace, are thine
Two hundred years of blessing I record
"Two things," the wise man said, "fill me with awe:
'Twas far away and long ago,

Under the cloud of world-wide war,

Waking from tender sleep,
We men that go down for a livin' in ships to the sea,--
We met on Nature's stage,
What hast thou done, O womanhood of France,
What is Fortune, what is Fame?
What makes the lingering Night so cling to thee?
What shall I give for thee,
What time the rose of dawn is laid across the lips of night,
When down the stair at morning
When May bedecks the naked trees
When Staevoren town was in its prime
When the frosty kiss of Autumn in the dark
When tulips bloom in Union Square,
When to the garden of untroubled thought
Where's your kingdom, little king?
Who knows how many thousand years ago
Who seeks for heaven alone to save his soul,
Who watched the worn-out Winter die?
Winter on Mount Shasta,
With eager heart and will on fire,
With memories old and wishes new
With two bright eyes, my star, my love
Wordsworth, thy music like a river rolls

Ye gods of battle, lords of fear,
Yes, it was like you to forget,
You dare to say with perjured lips,
You only promised me a single hour:
Yours is a garden of old-fashioned flowers;
