THE MAROON
c&he Awakening
Hy FRANCIS MOSES '28
/ woke one morning from a dream of sleep
And found my soul in a dark body wrapt—
A body spurned and hated.
Am I a beast; Though I
Or couchant slave escaped from master's hands?
Am 1 bound?
And are there chains about my neck
That hold me doivn?
Soul, arise and rest no more;
This dark frame’s no prison house for thee,
Nor all man’s hate;
Nor all the scorn of wicked world
Shall hold thee bound.
Arise, my soul, and stretch thy wings;
—Child of the mountain and the storm
—Thou art no captive of this baser clay;
Companion of the wind and waves thou art,
Arise, and take thy flight
Toiuard fairer realms and loftier heights,
Beyond the darkened isles
Of mortal greed, of mortal lust, of mortal want,—
Into thy courts of peace
Where thou art free.
