Brave Moscow
(Upon the Moscovites defending the nascent
democracy
with their bodies in the path of advancing tanks)
O brief bright flash of humanity!
Like the light in the night
A slash thru the sea deep dark
says
Ho! Homeward ships
Land is nigh!
Be a beacon
to the better angels of our nature
Shine us to the shores of home!
