Joy, Joy, the day is breaking, And the cloud is rolled from sight; There is triumph in the Morning For the Anarch's plunging flight; God has glorified the Mountain Where a Banner burneth bright, And the armies in the valley They are fortified in right. JOY JOY THE DAY IS BREAKING AND THE CLOUD IS ROLLED FROM SIGHT THERE IS TRIUMPH IN THE MORNING FOR THE ANARCH'S PLUNGING FLIGHT GOD HAS GLORIFIED THE MOUNTAIN WHERE BANNER BURNETH BRIGHT AND THE ARMIES IN THE VALLEY THEY ARE FORTIFIED IN RIGHT
low dull rumble, dull and dead, And ponderous drag that shakes the wall. Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll Of black artillery; he comes, though late; In code corroborating Calvin’s creed And cynic tyrannies of honest kings; He comes, nor parlies; and the Town redeemed, Give thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied, Which holds that Man is naturally good, And--more--is Nature’s Roman, never to be scourged. Look-out Mountain. The Night Fight. (November, 1863.) Who inhabiteth the Mountain That it shines in lurid light, And is rolled about with thunders, And terrors, and a blight, Like Kaf the peak of Eblis-- Kaf, the evil height? Who has gone up with a shouting And a trumpet in the night? There is battle in the Mountain-- Might assaulteth Might; ’Tis the fastness of the Anarch, Torrent-torn, an ancient height; The crags resound the clangor Of the war of Wrong and Right; And the armies in the valley Watch and pray for dawning light.
