    <strong>Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, The</strong>

    The breaking waves dashed high

    On a stern and rock-bound coast,

    And the woods, against a<mark>99lib.</mark> stormy sky,

    Their giant braost;

    And the heavy night hung dark

    The hills and water oer,

    When a band of exiles moored their bark

    On the wild New England shore.

    Not as the queror es,

    They, the true-hearted, came;

    Not with the roll of the stirring drums,

    And the trumpet that sings of fame;

    Not as the flying e,

    In silend in fear, -

    They shook the depths of the deserts gloom

    With their hymns of lofty cheer.

    Amidst the storm they sang,

    And the stars heard and the sea;

    And the sounding aisles of the dim wo

    To the a<footer></footer>nthem of the free.

    The o-eagle soared

    From his  by the white waves foam,

    And the rog pines of the forest roared -

    This was their wele home!

    There were men with hoary hair

    Amidst that pilgrim band:

    Why had they e to wither there,

    Away from their childhoods land?

    There was womans fearless eye,

    Lit by her deep loves truth;

    There was<big>?9９ｌｉb.</big> manhoods brow serenely high,

    And the fiery heart of youth.

    What sought they thus afar?

    Bright jewels of<q>?9９liｂ.</q> the mine?

    The wealth of the seas? the spoils of war? -

    They sought a faiths pure shrine!

    Ay, call it holy ground,

    The soil wh<mark>藏书网</mark>ere first they trod!

    They have left unstained what there they found -

    Freedom to worship God!

    <strong>Elizabeth Barrett Browning</strong>
