“Come! Let us lay a lance in rest,
And tilt at windmills under a wild sky!”

Moods, Songs and Doggerels (1912)
Context: Come! Let us lay a lance in rest,
And tilt at windmills under a wild sky!

Rather than, screened by safe majority,
Preserve his little life to little end,
And never raise a rebel cry!

Lay down in our mother's arms,
for here we can rest safely.”
