Robert Laurence Binyon - The Voices Of Hellas
Work rating: Low

Time, that has crumbled to impotent nothingness
 Empire on empire, towering in arrogance,
 Time, at whose finger invisibly commanding
 Their bannered battalions marched to oblivion,

 Time stays motionless when are heard the voices
 Of Hellas, proclaiming over a wondering world
 Wisdom and joy and the radiance of reality
 Disclosed as in an eternal sunrise.

 Clear as the mountain--peaks (O many--mountained
 Hellas!) soar in the morning splendour
 When the valleys below them drowse in shadow,
 Those voices into the light uplift us.

 Now in the hour of menacing malignity
 Hellas, holding the ancient passes
 Stands for the world`s cause, knowing it invincible,
 Knowing that beside her stand the Immortals.
