English text
- Will he come to us out of the west
- With hair all blowing free ?
- Will he come, the last and best,
- Over the flowing sea,
- Prophet of days to be ?
- Aye, he will come; the unseen choir
- Attend his steps with song,
- And on his breast a deep toned lyre,
- And on his lips a word like fire
- To burn the ancient wrong.
- Bay crowned and goodlier than a king;
- With voice both strong and sweet
- The song of freedom will he sing
- And I from out of the crowd shall fling
- My rose-wreath at his feet.
- Lyrics: Julian Sturgis - (1848 - 1904), "Whence"
