O thou that sea-walls sever / From lands unwalled by seas! / Wilt thou endure forever, / O Milton's England, these? / Thou that wast his Republic, / Wilt thou clasp their knees? / These royalties rust-eaten, / These worm-corroded lies / That keep thy head storm-beaten, / And sun-like strength of eyes / From the open air and heaven / Of intercepted skies!
