To-day and Thee + 

The appointed winners in a long-stretch’d game; + 

The course of Time and nations⁠—Egypt, India, Greece and Rome; + 

The past entire, with all its heroes, histories, arts, experiments, + 

Its store of songs, inventions, voyages, teachers, books, + 

Garner’d for now and thee⁠—To think of it! + 

The heirdom all converged in thee! + 
