Between Midnight and Morning
You that have faith to look with fearless eyes
Beyond the tragedy of a world at strife,
And trust that out of night and death shall rise
The dawn of ampler life;
Rejoice, whatever anguish rend your heart,
That God has given you, for a priceless dower,
To live in these great times and have your part
In Freedom’s crowning hour;
That you may tell your sons who see the light
High in the heavens, their heritage to take:—
“I saw the powers of darkness put to flight!
I saw the morning break!”
