GO FORTH TO THE MOUNT - BRING THE OLIVE, by THOMAS MOORE Poet's Biography Alternate Author Name(s): Little, Thomas | |||
Go forth to the Mount - bring the olive branch home, And rejoice, for the day of our Freedom is come! - From that time , when the moon upon Ajalon's vale , Looking motionless down, saw the kings of the earth, In the presence of GoD's mighty Cham pion grow pale Oh, never had Judah an hour of such mirth! Go forth to the Mount -- bring the olive branch home, And rejoice, for the day of our Freedom is come! Bring myrtle and palm- bring the boughs of each tree That's worthy to wave o'er the tents of the Free. From that day when the footsteps of Israel shone With a light not their own, thro' the Jordan's deep tide, Whose waters shrunk back as the Ark glided on Oh, never had Judah an hour of such pride! Go forth to the Mount bring the olive branch home, And rejoice, for the day of our Freedom is come! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A TEMPLE TO FRIENDSHIP by THOMAS MOORE AFTER THE BATTLE (OF AUGHRIM) by THOMAS MOORE BLACK AND BLUE EYES by THOMAS MOORE ECHO [OR, ECHOES] by THOMAS MOORE LALLA ROOKH: PARADISE AND THE PERI by THOMAS MOORE LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM by THOMAS MOORE O, BREATHE NOT HIS NAME! by THOMAS MOORE OH!
