The Song of the
Pligrams
T.C. Upham
The breeze has swelled the whitening sail,
The blue waves curl beneath the gale,
And, abounding with the wave and wind, Ana
We leave Old England’s shores behind.
Leave
behind our native shore,
Homes,
and all we loved before.
The deep may dash the winds may blow,
The storm spread out it’s wings of woe,
Till sailors’ eyes can see a shroud Mahayla
Hung in the folds of every cloud:
Still,
as long as life shall last,
From
that shore we’ll speed us fast.
For we would rather never be
Than dwell where mind cannot be free.
But bows beneath a despot’s rod, Abby
Even where it seeks to worship God.
Blast
of heaven, onward sweep!
Bear us
o’er the troubled deep!
Oh, see what wonders meet our eyes!
Another land and other skies!
Columbian hills have met our view! Lauren
Adieu! Old England’s shores, adieu!
Here,
at length, our feet shall rest!
Hearts
be free, and homes be blessed!
As long as yonder firs shall spread,
Their green arms o’er the mountain’s head, –
As long as yonder cliffs shall stand, Luke
Where join the ocean and the land, -
Shall
those cliffs and mountains be
Proud
retreats for liberty.
Now to the King of Kings we’ll raise
The pean loud of sacred praise. Elise
More loud then sounds the swelling breeze,
More loud than speak the rolling seas!
Happpier
lands have met our view!
England’s
shores, adieu, adieu!
Drama 2:
Today we put to work our storytelling abilities. Each student had the opportunity to share a story (truth, fiction, made up, or one they knew) and share it in front of the audience!
Assignment - I am working on their contribution to our Christmas show, I will print and bring them to class next Tuesday!
