And for a time the holy things are veiled.

England's wise thoughts are swords; her quiet hours

Are trodden underfoot like wayside flowers,

And every English heart is England's wholly.

In starless night

A serious passion streams the heaven with light.

A common beating is in the air—

The heart of England throbbing everywhere.

And all her roads are nerves of noble thought,

And all her people's brain is but her brain;

And all her history (less her shame)

Is part of her requickened consciousness.

Her courage rises clean again;

Her children's inspiration is her name, her name!
