Pagina xx - I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps, They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps ; I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps, His day is marching on. I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel: "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal; Let the hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on.
Pagina 49 - If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
Pagina xx - He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat : Oh ! be swift, my soul, to answer Him ! be jubilant, my feet !
