A chill no coat, however stout, Of homespun stuff could quite shut out...

Página 16 - The tumult and the shouting dies — The captains and the kings depart — Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart.
Página 36 - Wet with the rain, the Gray. Sadly, but not with upbraiding The generous deed was done ; In the storm of the years that are fading, No braver battle was won ; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day ; Under the blossoms, the Blue ; Under the garlands, the Gray.

Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day ; Love and tears for the Blue ; Tears and...
Página 12 - Maugre the farmer's sighs ; and at the gate A tapering turret overtops the work. And when his hours are numbered, and the world Is all his own, retiring, as he were not, Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art To mimic in slow structures, stone hy stone, Built in an age, the mad wind's night-work, The frolic architecture of the snow.

So I came by the name of Old Glory.
