Robert Laurence Binyon - The Lamp Of Greece
Work rating: Low

Truth incorruptible lives on, though sight
 Cloud, and the heart flinch, and the mind askance
 Reject. Because she sought that radiance,
 Unweariable lover of the light!
 History`s marvel, Hellas in despite
 Of time and interposing circumstance
 Still stands above the siege of ignorance,
 Serene before the armies of the night.

 The mind has flowered where she wooed the seed
 Up from the darkness into beauty: there
 Love listens, divine music fills the air,
 Though we by glimpses only understand
 Who in the present anguish of our need
 Long for the light as for our native land.
