To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So came thy workmen with their craffc Along the coast, with stone and shaft, To build a temple, that should rise Softly as prayer, unto the skies, 1^0 nail, nor axe, nor hammer-stroke Was heard, on chapiter or oak.
Until it glittered in the sun.
The temple built for Solomon.
So, still along thy sacred stream Thy treasures sail, with shadowy gleam, Like workman, bearing arts sublime, n.
Down from the Tyre of early time: To build, without a sound or hand Truth's silent temple in the land.
One hun...dred years of thought, since man Upon this Continent began; Discovered erst, that it might be The Empire of discovery.
America! — for thee the earth Hath shed her century- seeds of birth: And folded up its Arab tent Within thy great experiment, Upon thy watch-tower in the night Inquiry waits, for larger light; And still, from years but in their youth Man asks that question: what is truth?
While, with his hands on strings of fire He sounds thy thousand-chorded lyre; He swims the ether like a hawk: He dives the water like a shark: He sees the atom like a gnat: He fells the city where it sat: He drives the distance down to death And puts the great wind out of breath: He whispers to the worlds of space, And feels their warm breath on his face; He, with Sampsonian steam lifts weights, And bears them off liHe Gaza-gates; He holds the compass in his hand, And lays the sea out like the land: He shoots the arrows of his ships Across the sea, into their slips; « 46 InBimuraHQjn.
