Louvain - ZaunköniG - 22.04.2012 Louvain Are they of hell alone, the flames that flare O'er the dear city? Is there nought but woe And horror in the scene their breakers show? Or see we not across the leaping glare Bright presences of God, and visions fair Our eyes had known in darkness long ago But lost in peace's day-light, till the glow Of Louvain flung them on the mystic air? Now as of old the might of sovereign wrong Hath caught the world, and tried her heart with flame, And purged her eyes of sloth, her will of fear, Till from the trial she rises bright and strong To wrest her being from the grip of shame And walk again with love and mercy dear. |
