By the well, where the bullocks go / Silent and blind and slow -- / By the field where the young corn dies / In the face of the sultry skies, / They have heard, as the dull Earth hears / The voice of the wind of an hour, / The sound of the Great Queen's voice: / "My God hath given me years, / Hath granted dominion and power: / And I bid you, O Land, rejoice."
