A New National Anthem
O
World!
O
Life!
O
Time!
On
whose
last
steps
I
climb,
Trembling
at
that
where
I
had
stood
before;
When
will
return
the
glory
of
your
prime?
No
more
--Oh,
never
more!
Out
of
the
day
and
night
A
joy
has
taken
flight:
Fresh
spring,
and
summer,
and
winter
hoar
Move
my
faint
heart
with
grief,
but
with
delight
No
more
--Oh,
never
more!
