To Any Poet

Padraic Colum

BELOW there are white-faced throngs:

Their march is a tide coming nigher;

Below there are white-faced throngs:

Their faith is a banner flung higher.

Below there are white-faced throngs,

White swords they have yet, but red songs;

Place and lot they have lost—hear you not?—

For a dream you once dreamed, and forgot!
