Rh  Ye are symbols both of a hope that saves,
 * As ye swoop in your strength and grace.

As ye roll to the land like the billowed graves
 * Of a suicidal race.

Ye have hoarded your strength in equal parts;
 * For the men of the future reign

Must have faithful souls and kindly hearts,
 * And bone and sinew and brain.

NLY from day to day
 * The life of a wise man runs;

What matter if seasons far away
 * Have gloom or have double suns?

To climb the unreal path,
 * We stray from the roadway here;

We swim the rivers of wrath,
 * And tunnel the hills of fear.
