_Gratefully_
That's the shout, the shout we shall utter
When, with rifles and spades,
We stand, with the old Red Flag aflutter
On the barricades!
--FRANCIS ADAMS.
Thou orb of many orbs!
Thou seething principle! Thou well-kept, latent germ!
Thou center!
Around the idea of thee the strange sad war revolving,
With all its angry and vehement play of causes,
(With yet unknown results to come, for thrice a thousand
years)....
--WHITMAN.
While three men hold together,
The kingdoms are less by three.
--SWINBURNE.
