Farewell Cannons
Then, while we sing & dance,
Dancing towards new hills –
Those unknown & uncertain lofty hills,
Priding themselves in the heights of mountains!
Yes, while our hearts in extravagant beats
Of wild hopes & ambitions fair;
May we rhythm the farewell notes
Booming from sacred silent cannons –
Those fair echoes of ancestors
Thought in doom to dwell
Tho’ in eternal sweetness be!
O, kins! let us shine
Like some refined gold in brightness
Tho’s our era chime in glorified forlorn!
