III.

Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of peace;
     East, west, north, and south let the long quarrel cease:
Sing the song of great joy that the angels began,
     Sing of glory to God and of good — will to man!
Hark! joining in chorus
     The heavens bend o'er us!
The dark night is ending and dawn has begun;
     Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun,
All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one!

1873.

Boston and New York, Houghton, Mifflin and company, 1888-89.
