102 POEMS AND SONGS
Before her stage, and here our thanks we utter
For what she gave us. So as she had given,
Has no one given. She gave of her sorrow,
With bleeding heart beneath her winsome smile.
She shared with us the tears her conflict brought,
The radiant glory of her victory.
Thanks, prayer-borne thanks, you noble soul,
From all your brothers, from your sisters all!
From Norway’s youthful art enduring thanks!
From women to their pure interpreter
Farewell and thanks!—From all those whom you lifted
On pinions of the spirit high to beauty
Once more a wreath is brought,—it is the last.
(Laying it before the bust)
Now God in His bright heaven makes you glad,
And we will make you glad with good remembrance.
CHORUS
(Behind the scenes, softly)
Farewell, farewell!
Now in your grave
No want is known;
But what you gave,
We ever own.
Your spirit’s seed
Shall blossom here,
Bear fruit in deed,
And sad hearts cheer.
