Sad sowers trod who taste not the increase:

We hear thy trump, whose echo shall not cease,

In hush of night resounding, while we meet

Around unthreatened fires, but pressing fleet

Thou passest, proud, to claim thy kin’s release;

Thy trump, that doth arraign the entombèd Past,

Till shapes that march as if with martyr-psalm

In glow and gloom of kindly hearths we see:

And now to present war a keener blast

Calls loud, and spirits late content and calm
