POEMS AND SONGS
It now must bear aloft a hymn,
The call of God proclaiming ;
Pictures of blood its lines shall limn,
Drawn bold in letters faming,—
Its name shall be: “The Free North’s Hymn!”
Of all the hymns thou voicest,
Whose glory time shall never dim,
It shall be first and choicest.
OUR FOREFATHERS
(JANUARY 13, 1864)
Hicu memories with power
Shine through the wintry North
On every peak’s white tower,
On Kattegat so swarth.
All is so still and spacious,
The Northern Lights flow free,
Creating bright and gracious
A day of memory.
Each deed the North defending,
Each thought for greater might,
A star-like word is sending
Down through the frosty night!
To hope they call and boldness,
And call with double cheer
To him, defying coldness,
On guard the Eider near.
