1 While ev'ry age is crowned with rhyme,
And song is ever young,
The bravest birth of later time
Must not remain unsung;
A poet shall be born to us,
For living men to hail,
Dismounted from old Pegasus
To mount the fiery rail!
2 When speed and joy go hand in hand,
And loves are side by side,
We are the sunbeams of the land,
On which the angels glide;
The husband to his anxious wife, the friend to friendly care,
the lover to his life of life,
On burning wings we bear.
3 And oft as ships of ill accurst,
That sail the solid earth,
On sacred parting hours we burst,
And mar the moment's mirth;
The dearest and the longest lost,
Pass by within a span,
Yet know it not; of little cost
We make the heart of man.
