I feel my strength awakened,<br>And my brethren shout to me;<br>Each is leaping red and joyous<br>To his own awaiting sea.<br>Rhine and Elbe are plunging downward<br>Through their wild anarchic land,<br>Everywhere are Christians falling<br>By their brother Christians' hand!<br>Yea, the old times are returning,<br>And the olden gods are here!<br>Take my tribute, Father Euxine,<br>To thy waters dark and drear.<br>Therefore come I with my torrents,<br>Shaking castle, crag, and town;<br>Therefore, with the shout of thunder,<br>Sweep I herd and herdsman down;<br>Therefore leap I to thy bosom,<br>With a loud triumphal roar-<br>Greet me, greet me, Father Euxine,<br>I am Christian stream no more!'</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=William+Edmondstoune+Aytoun">William Edmondstoune Aytoun</a><div class=q>
