80 ARNLJOT GELLINE
On trees with their hundreds, rocks with their thousands
of years,
Ere the field may be cleared for the seed,
Seed planted by love.
This is my thought, in sooth, and I rejoice
That the people now gather to battle, come in their fury,
—Come to join issue with Thee!
Battle shalt Thou have; for sparks from the steel bright
flying
Kindle Thy fire, consuming things rotten, and lighting
The world in the coming years.
Drive them to battle, with zeal my heart is flaming,
Cast me upon the pyre, if thereby may the future races
be lit!
Take to Thy clasp
That which perchance I yield up to-morrow,
Grant that my son
Foothold may find where I slipped!
