The harlot that men called great Babylon, In crimson raiment and in sooth attire, The scarlet leprosy that shamed the sun, The gilded goat that plied the world for hire ;— Her days of wealth and majesty are done : Men trample her for mire ! The temple of their God is broken down ; Yea, Mammon’s shrine is cleansed ! The house of her That cowed the world with her malignant frown, And drove the Celt to exile and despair, Is battered now—God’s fire destroys the town ; London admits God’s air. They scorned the god that made them ; yea, they said : “…

…teep. The sea rose in tumult and clamour, The Earth also shook with Thee then, As Thor had uplifted his hammer, And smitten the mutinous men. O ! rise Thou again ! The voice of the Lord is uplifted ; The wilderness also obeys ; The flames of the fire they are rifted ; The waves of the sea know His ways. The cedars of Lebanon hear Thee, The desert of Kadesh hath known ; The Sons of Men know Thee and fear Thee, Flee far from the Light of Thy Throne. For Thou art alone. 21

…re the Gold divine. The Christ is calling to the starry fold Of Souls—Arise and shine ! The Isis of the World hath raised her veil One moment, that fresh glory of the stars May glow through winter, where the sun is pale ; Melt snow-bound lilies ; bid the prison bars, Wherein men bow their heads and women wail, Blossom to nenuphars. The sacred lotus of the universe Blossoms this century—a million tears Melted the ice of Eve’s accursèd curse : A million more have watered it—it peers, A resurrection fragrance, to disperse Men’s folly and their fea…

…ten : from the face Of earth shall fail the misbegotten, root and race ; And the fair country unto them again I give, Whom in long exile men contemn : for they shall live.” Yea, they shall live ! The Celtic race ! Amen ! And I Give Praise, and close mine eyes, cover my face, and laugh— and die. 7

My work, my Father’s work for men, the rising sun ? Who calls me coward ? Let them wait awhile ! Shall I Bow down a loyal head to fate : despair and die ? I hear the sea roll strong and pure that bore me far From Meallfavournie’s scalp, gray moor and lonely scaur ; I hear the waves together mutter in counsel deep ; I hear the thunder the winds utter in broken sleep ; I hear the voices of four rivers crying aloud ; Four Angels trumpet, and earth shivers : the heavens shroud Their faces in blank terror for the sound of them : The mountains are di…

The price of your freedom—I claim it ! Your aid to make other men free ! Your strength—I defy you to shame it ! Your peace—I defy it to be Dishonoured ! Arise and proclaim it From sea unto sea ! From Ireland the voice of the dying, The murdered, the starved, the exiled, In hope to your freedom is crying A dolorous note and a wild : “ Your star-bestrewn banner is flying, And ours—is defiled.” From Ind—shall her summons awaken ? Her voices are those of the dead ! By famine and cholera shaken, By taxes and usury bled, In the hour of her torture fo…

… ? The oriflamme, the golden fleur-de-lys ? The eagle, or the tricolour ? Thy sons Choose their own flag, contented to be free, With freemen’s orisons. The mist is gathering on the seer’s sight— I cannot see the future of thy state. Or, am I dazzled by resounding light ? I know this thing—thy future shall be great ! Come war, come revolution ! In their spite Thou mayst compel thy Fate. O German Empire ! Let thy sons beware, Not crowding sordid towns for lust of gold, Not all forgetful of the herdsman’s care, Not arming all men in an iron mould.…
