POEMS AND SONGS
Left foot! Right foot! Lines unbroken!
Keeping time is power’s token.
Let us march all, never weaken
Time from Vard6 down to Viken,
Vinger up to Bergen’s region,—
Let us make one marching legion,
Then we’ll rout some wrong from Norway,
Open wide to right the doorway.
THE LAND THAT SHALL BE
(DEDICATED TO HERMAN ANKER AND M. ANKER ON THE
OCCASION OF THEIR SILVER-WEDDING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1888 )
Lawnp that shall be!
Thither, when thwarted our longings, we sail,—
Sighs to the clouds, that we breathe when we fail,
Form a mirage of rich valley and mead
Over our need,—
Visions revealing the future until
Faith shall fulfil,—
The land that shall be.
Land that shall be!
All of our labor to sow seeds of gain
Grows in the ages when our names shall wane,
Gathered with others’, ’t is stored in the true
Will to renew.
