Have you heard how Holy Russia
Is guarded, night and day,
By saints gone home to the world of light,
Yet watching her realm for aye?

More quotes by Edna Dean Proctor

Your King may be powerful—a brother I'll be—
But vassal to none on the land or the sea!

Poems (1890)

I think of the garden after the rain;
And hope to my heart comes singing,
"At morn the cherry-blooms will be white,
And the Easter bells be ringing!"

And the chants, and the groans of the dying, as one,
Went up to the Lord when the carnage was done.

Poems (1890)

And Pole and Tartar and haughty Gaul
Flee, dismayed, from the Kremlin wall.

A Russian Journey (1872)

We hail thee, we crown thee! To east and to west
God keep thee the purest, the noblest, the best;
While all thy domain with a people He fills
As free as thy winds and as firm as thy hills!
