Make their blood dance and chain their eyes;
That bugle-music on the breeze
Arrests them with a charmd surprise.
Banner by turns and bugle woo:
Ye shy recluses, follow too!”

To shake all cares and business from our age,
Conferring them on younger strengths, while we
Unburdened crawl toward death.”
