letra de to thee, old cause - howard hanson

to thee, old cause!
thou peerless, passionate, good cause!
thou stern, remorseless, sweet idea!
deathless throughout the ages, races, lands!
after a strange, sad war—great war for thee
(i think all war through time was really fought, and
ever will be really fought, for thee;)
these chants for thee—the eternal march of thee

thou orb of many orbs!
thou seething principle! thou well-kept, latent germ!
thou centre!
around the idea of thee the strange sad war revolv-
ing
with all its angry and vehement play of causеs
(with yet unknown results to come, for thricе a thou-
sand years,)
these recitatives for thee—my book and the war are
one
merged in its spirit i and mine—as the contest hinged
on thee
as a wheel on its axis turns, this book, unwitting to
itself
around the idea of thee
