Explore "An Ode" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
They who maintained their rights, / Through storm and stress, / And walked in all the ways / That God made known, / Led by no wandering lights, / And by no guess, / Through dark and desolate days / Of trial and moan: / Here let their monument / Rise, like a word / In rock commemorative / Of our Land's youth;
Of ways the Puritan went, / With soul love-spurred / To suffer, die, and live / For faith and truth.
