TO THE CHARTISTS. - ZaunköniG - 05.05.2009 TO THE CHARTISTS. With doubtful purpose, through the doubtful night, Your spearheads glimmering in the misty moon, Why gather ye; and with wild lyric tune Call up the wondering cocks before the light ? Oh what conflicting sense of wrongs or right Marshalled ye thus ; and in the star-led noon Of sleep bade forth ? Hers is a better boon, Dear countrymen, than that for which ye fight. Think ye to utter, as the Sybil doth, Rugged, and strange, but perdurable things; The world's ordained counsel with mad mouth 1 Now heavy-laden Time wild stories brings Of Nostradamus ; and the world is drowth, Gaping for clouds—but Truth keeps the old springs. |
