To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

All party-colored threads the weaver Time Sets in his web, now trivial, now sublime.
All memories, all forebodings, hopes and fears, Mountain and river, forest, prairie, sea, A hill, a rock, a homestead, field, or tree.
The casual gleanings of unreckoned years.
Take goddess-shape at last and there is She, Old at our birth, new as the springing hours.
Shrine of our weakness, fortress of our powers.
Consoler, kindier, peerless mid her peers, A force that 'neath our conscious being stirs, A life t...o give ours permanence, when we Are borne to mingle our poor earth with hers, And all this glowing world goes with us on our biers.
Nations are long results, by ruder ways Gathering the might that warrants length of days ; They may be pieced of half-reluctant shares Welded by hammer-strokes of broad-brained kings, Or from a doughty people grow, the heirs Of wise traditions widening cautious rings ; At best they are computable things, A strength behind us making us feel bold In right, or, as may chance, in wrong; Whose force by figures may be summed and told, So many soldiers, ships, and dollars strong, And we but drops that bear compulsory part In tfie dumb throb of a mechanic heart ; But Country is a shape of each man's mind Sacred from definition, unconfined By the cramped walls where daily drudgeries grind; An inward vision, yet an outward birth Of sweet familiar heaven and earth ; A brooding Presence that stirs motions blind Of wings within our embryo being's shell That wait but her completer spell To make us eagle-natured, fit to dare Life's nobler spaces and untarnished air.
