XX.
Thus the Appointed of God now beholds his IdealCorrespond with the infinite truths of God's love—
Feels his Heaven-born thoughts in his life now made real,
Till the old earth below looks like New Earth above.
Thus the God-ordained Heroes with God covenanted
For the eternal inheritance bequeathed us this Day;
For the prayers that they prayed God in Heaven to them granted,
Which shall last with their Sons till the world fades away.
For the seeds which they sowed with their strong arms broad casting,
Have sprung up, world-wide, like the fields of the sea,
In the sweet golden grain of the life-everlasting,
For the Sons of the Beautiful, the Sons of the Free.
Then strike the bold harp! &c.
