+VICTORIAN ODE.
+
+
+  Night; and the street a corpse beneath the moon,
+  Upon the threshold of the jubilant day
+  That was to follow soon;
+  Thickened with inundating dark
+  'Gainst which the drowning lamps kept struggle; pole
+  And plank cast rigid shadows; 'twas a stark
+  Thing waiting for its soul,
+  The bones of the preluded pomp. I saw
+  In the cloud-sullied moon a pale array,
+  A lengthened apparition, slowly draw;
+  And as it came,
+  Brake all the street in phantom flame
+  Of flag and flower and hanging, shadowy show
+  Of the to-morrow's glories, as might suit
+  A pageant of the dead; and spectral bruit
+  I heard, where stood the dead to watch the dead,
+  The long Victorian line that passed with printless tread.
+  First went the holy poets, two on two,
+  And music, sown along the hardened ground,
+  Budded like frequence of glad daisies, where
+  Those sacred feet did fare;
+  Arcadian pipe, and psaltery, around,
+  And stringed viol, sound
+  To make for them melodious due.
+  In the first twain of those great ranks of death
+  Went one, the impress recent on his hair
+  Where it was dinted by the laureate wreath:
+  Who sang those goddesses with splendours bare
+  On Ida hill, before the Trojan boy;
+  And many a lovely lay,
+  Where Beauty did her beauties unarray
+  In conscious song. I saw young Love his plumes deploy,
+  And shake their shivering lustres, till the night
+  Was sprinkled and bedropt with starry play
+  Of versicoloured light,
+  To see that poet pass who sang him well;
+  And I could hear his heart
+  Throb like the after-vibrance of a bell.
+  A Strength beside this Beauty, Browning went,
+  With shrewd looks and intent,
+  And meditating still some gnarled theme.
+  Then came, somewhat apart,
+  In a fastidious dream,
+  Arnold, with a half-discontented calm,
+  Binding up wounds, but pouring in no balm.
+  The fervid breathing of Elizabeth
+  Broke on Christina's gentle-taken breath.
+  Rossetti, whose heart stirred within his breast
+  Like lightning in a cloud, a spirit without rest,
+  Came on disranked; Song's hand was in his hair,
+  Lest Art should have withdrawn him from the band,
+  Save for her strong command;
+  And in his eyes high Sadness made its lair.
+  Last came a shadow tall, with drooping lid,
+  Which yet not hid
+  The steel-like flashing of his armed glance;
+  Alone he did advance,
+  And all the throngs gave room
+  For one that looked with such a captain's mien:
+  A scornful smile lay keen
+  On lips that, living, prophesied of doom.
+  His one hand held a lightning-bolt, the other
+  A cup of milk and honey blent with fire;
+  It seemed as in that quire
+  He had not, nor desired not, any brother.
+  A space his alien eye surveyed the pride
+  Of meditated pomp, as one that much
+  Disdained the sight, methought; then at a touch,
+  He turned the heel, and sought with shadowy stride
+  His station in the dim,
+  Where the sole-thoughted Dante waited him.
+
+  What throngs illustrious next, of Art and Prose,
+  Too long to tell; but other music rose
+  When came the sabre's children: they who led
+  The iron-throated harmonies of war,
+  The march resounding of the armed line,
+  And measured movement of battalia:
+  Accompanied their tread
+  No harps, no pipes of soft Arcadia,
+  But--borne to me afar--
+  The tramp of squadrons, and the bursting mine,
+  The shock of steel, the volleying rifle-crack,
+  And echoes out of ancient battles dead.
+  So Cawnpore unto Alma thundered back,
+  And Delhi's cannon roared to Gujerat:
+  Carnage through all those iron vents gave out
+  Her thousand-mouthed shout.
+  As balefire answering balefire is unfurled,
+  From mountain-peaks, to tell the foe's approaches,
+  So ran that battle-clangour round the world,
+  From famous field to field
+  So that reverberated war was tossed;
+  And--in the distance lost--
+  Across the plains of France and hills of Spain
+  It swelled once more to birth,
+  And broke on me again,
+  The voice of England's glories girdling in the earth.
+
+  It caught like fire the main,
+  Where rending planks were heard, and broadsides pealed,
+  That shook were all the seas,
+  Which feared, and thought on Nelson. For with them
+  That struck the Russ, that brake the Mutineer,
+  And smote the stiff Sikh to his knee,--with these
+  Came they that kept our England's sea-swept hem,
+  And held afar from her the foreign fear.
+  After them came
+  They who pushed back the ocean of the Unknown,
+  And fenced some strand of knowledge for our own
+  Against the outgoing sea
+  Of ebbing mystery;
+  And on their banner "Science" blazoned shone.
+  The rear were they that wore the statesman's fame,
+  From Melbourne, to
+  The arcane face of the much-wrinkled Jew.
+
+  Lo, in this day we keep the yesterdays,
+  And those great dead of the Victorian line.
+  They passed, they passed, but cannot pass away,
+  For England feels them in her blood like wine.
+  She was their mother, and she is their daughter,
+  This Lady of the water,
+  And from their loins she draws the greatness which they were.
+  And still their wisdom sways,
+  Their power lives in her.
+  Their thews it is, England, that lift thy sword,
+  They are the splendour, England, in thy song,
+  They sit unbidden at thy council-board,
+  Their fame doth compass all thy coasts from wrong,
+  And in thy sinews they are strong.
+  Their absence is a presence and a guest
+  In this day's feast;
+  This living feast is also of the dead,
+  And this, O England, is thine All Souls' Day.
+  And when thy cities flake the night with flames,
+  Thy proudest torches yet shall be their names.
+
+  O royal England! happy child
+  Of such a more than regal line;
+  Be it said
+  Fair right of jubilee is thine;
+  And surely thou art unbeguiled
+  If thou keep with mirth and play,
+  With dance, and jollity, and praise,
+  Such a To-day which sums such Yesterdays.
+  Pour to the joyless ones thy joy, thy oil
+  And wine to such as faint and toil.
+  And let thy vales make haste to be more green
+  Than any vales are seen
+  In less auspicious lands,
+  And let thy trees clap all their leafy hands,
+  And let thy flowers be gladder far of hue
+  Than flowers of other regions may;
+  Let the rose, with her fragrance sweetened through,
+  Flush as young maidens do,
+  With their own inward blissfulness at play.
+  And let the sky twinkle an eagerer blue
+  Over our English isle
+  Than any otherwhere;
+  Till strangers shall behold, and own that she is fair.
+  Play up, play up, ye birds of minstrel June,
+  Play up your reel, play up your giddiest spring,
+  And trouble every tree with lusty tune,
+  Whereto our hearts shall dance
+  For overmuch pleasance,
+  And children's running make the earth to sing.
+  And ye soft winds, and ye white-fingered beams,
+  Aid ye her to invest,
+  Our queenly England, in all circumstance
+  Of fair and feat adorning to be drest;
+  Kirtled in jocund green,
+  Which does befit a Queen,
+  And like our spirits cast forth lively gleams:
+  And let her robe be goodly garlanded
+  With store of florets white and florets red,
+  With store of florets white and florets gold,
+  A fair thing to behold;
+  Intrailed with the white blossom and the blue,
+  A seemly thing to view!
+  And thereunto,
+  Set over all a woof of lawny air,
+  From her head wavering to her sea-shod feet,
+  Which shall her lovely beauty well complete,
+  And grace her much to wear.
+
+  Lo, she is dressed, and lo, she cometh forth,
+  Our stately Lady of the North;
+  Lo, how she doth advance,
+  In her most sovereign eye regard of puissance,
+  And tiar'd with conquest her prevailing brow,
+  While nations to her bow.
+  Come hither, proud and ancient East,
+  Gather ye to this Lady of the North,
+  And sit down with her at her solemn feast,
+  Upon this culminant day of all her days;
+  For ye have heard the thunder of her goings-forth,
+  And wonder of her large imperial ways.
+  Let India send her turbans, and Japan
+  Her pictured vests from that remotest isle
+  Seated in the antechambers of the Sun:
+  And let her Western sisters for a while
+  Remit long envy and disunion,
+  And take in peace
+  Her hand behind the buckler of her seas,
+  'Gainst which their wrath has splintered; come, for she
+  Her hand ungauntlets in mild amity.
+  Victoria! Queen, whose name is victory,
+  Whose woman's nature sorteth best with peace,
+  Bid thou the cloud of war to cease
+  Which ever round thy wide-girt empery
+  Fumes, like to smoke about a burning brand,
+  Telling the energies which keep within
+  The light unquenched, as England's light shall be;
+  And let this day hear only peaceful din.
+  For, queenly woman, thou art more than woman;
+  Thy name the often-struck barbarian shuns;
+  Thou art the fear of England to her foemen,
+  The love of England to her sons.
+  And this thy glorious day is England's; who
+  Can separate the two?
+  She joys thy joys and weeps thy tears,
+  And she is one with all thy moods;
+  Thy story is the tale of England's years,
+  And big with all her ills, and all her stately goods.
+  Now unto thee
+  The plenitude of the glories thou didst sow
+  Is garnered up in prosperous memory;
+  And, for the perfect evening of thy day,
+  An untumultuous bliss, serenely gay,
+  Sweetened with silence of the after-glow.
+
+  Nor does the joyous shout
+  Which all our lips give out
+  Jar on that quietude; more than may do
+  A radiant childish crew,
+  With well-accordant discord fretting the soft hour,
+  Whose hair is yellowed by the sinking blaze
+  Over a low-mouthed sea. Exult, yet be not twirled,
+  England, by gusts of mere
+  Blind and insensate lightness; neither fear
+  The vastness of thy shadow on the world.
+  If in the East
+  Still strains against its leash the unglutted beast
+  Of War; if yet the cannon's lip be warm;
+  Thou, whom these portents warn but not alarm,
+  Feastest, but with thy hand upon the sword,
+  As fits a warrior race.
+  Not like the Saxon fools of olden days,
+  With the mead dripping from the hairy mouth,
+  While all the South
+  Filled with the shaven faces of the Norman horde.

+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
