TO-DAY.

TO-DAY.

Voice, with what emulous fire thou singest free hearts of old fashion,English scorners of Spain, sweeping the blue sea-way,Sing me the daring of life for life, the magnanimous passionOf man for man in the mean populous streets of To-day!Hand, with what color and power thou couldst show, in the ring hot-sanded,Brown Bestiarius holding the lean tawn tiger at bay,Paint me the wrestle of Toil with the wild-beast Want, bare-handed;Shadow me forth a soul steadily facing To-day!

Hand, with what color and power thou couldst show, in the ring hot-sanded,

Brown Bestiarius holding the lean tawn tiger at bay,

Paint me the wrestle of Toil with the wild-beast Want, bare-handed;

Shadow me forth a soul steadily facing To-day!
