Explore "An Ode" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Can praise be simply said of such as these? / Such men as Standish, Winthrop, Endicott? / Such souls as Roger Conant and John White? / Rugged and great as trees, / The oaks of that New World with which their lot / Was cast forever, proudly to remain.
That world in which each name still stands, a light / To beacon the Ship of State through stormy seas.
