First-person to answer gets Brainliest (Do not guess or no Brainliest) Second Stanza: Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet, with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed!
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last,
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
