When thy flowery hand delivers All the mountain-prisoned rivers, And thy great heart beats and quivers, To revive the days that were. - April [April] You to the left and I to the right, For the ways of men must sever-- And it may be for a day and a night, And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part, (For our ways are past our knowing) A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart, On the ways we all are going! Here's luck! For we know not where we are going. - At the Crossroads [Toasts] The dawn is lonely for the sun, And chill and drear; The one lone star is pale and wan, As one in fear. - Chanson de Rosemonde [Stars] East, to the dawn, or west or south or north! Loose rein upon the neck of--and forth! - Faith and Fate [Fate] And you prate of the wealth of nations, as if it were bought and sold, The wealth of nations is men, not silk and cotton and gold. - Peace [Wealth] For 't is always fair weather When good fellows get together With a stein on the table and a good song ringing clear. - Spring [Hospitality] For surely in the blind deep-buried roots Of all men's souls to-day A secret quiver shoots. - Spring [Spring] Ye who made war that your ships Should lay to at the beck of no nation, Make war now on Murder, that slips The leash of her hounds of damnation; Ye who remembered the Alamo, Remember the Maine! - The Word of the Lord from Havana [War] I do not know beneath what sky Nor on what seas shall be thy fate; I only know it shall be high, I only know it shall be great. - Unmanifest Destiny [Fate]
