To rear its mighty ramparts overhead

And light its pinnacles with golden grace.

To the unhonoured dead.

To the forgotten dead,

What dauntless hands were stretched to grasp the rein

Of Fate and hurl into the void again

Her thunder-hoofèd horses, rushing blind

Earthward along the courses of the wind.

Among the stars along the wind in vain

Their souls were scattered and their blood was shed,
