(August, 1864.) O mystery of noble hearts, To whom mysterious seas have been In midnight watches, lonely calm and storm, A stern, sad disciple, And rooted out the false and vain, And chastened them to aptness for Devotion and the deeds of war, And death which smiles and cheers in spite of pain. LIEBRAVOX OH MYSTERY OF NOBLE HEARTS TO WHOM MYSTERIOUS SEAS HAVE BEEN IN MIDNIGHT WATCHES LONELY CALM AND STORM A STERN SAD DISCIPLE AND ROOTED OUT THE FALSE AND VAIN AND CHASTENED THEM TO APTNESS FOR DEVOTION AND THE DEEDS OF WAR AND DEATH WHICH SMILES AND CHEERS IN SPITE OF PAIN
-the glaring; They live in a sleepless spell That wizens, and withers, and whitens; It ages the young, and the bloom Of the maiden is ashes of roses-- The Swamp Angel broods in his gloom. Swift is his messengers’ going, But slowly he saps their halls, As if by delay deluding. They move from their crumbling walls Farther and farther away; But the Angel sends after and after, By night with the flame of his ray-- By night with the voice of his screaming-- Sends after them, stone by stone, And farther walls fall, farther portals, And weed follows weed through the Town. Is this the proud City? the scorner Which never would yield the ground? Which mocked at the coal-black Angel? The cup of despair goes round. Vainly she calls upon Michael (The white man’s seraph was he), For Michael has fled from his tower To the Angel over the sea. Who weeps for the woeful City Let him weep for our guilty kind; Who joys at her wild despairing-- Christ, the Forgiver, convert his mind. The Battle for the Bay.
