OF ALL THE NAMES THAT MYTHIC NATURE HOLDS

 

OF ALL THE NAMES THAT MYTHIC NATUT\RE HOLDS

Of all the names that mythic nature holds

Caledonia, you are my home

My gold my hoard my distant strand

Whatever God has saved for man

Souvenir of Eden bewept,be spoken

Over the roiling of the world

Envy and strife

Will come to naught

The sly tripping on the stairs

By devils so aware of our innocent striving

Let them take a care

That upward God will wend us

On his wings of fire

And in his loving ire

Repay

Those who mocked us in the fray

To wound and dissemble our dreaming.
