Not you alone, Rizal. O souls and spirits of the martyred brave, arise! Arise and scour the land! Shed once again Your willing blood! Infuse the vibrant red into our thin anemic veins; until we pick up your Promethean tools and, strong, Out of the depthless matrix of your faith In us, and on the silent cliffs of freedom, we carve for all time your marmoreal dream! Until our people, seeing, are become Like the Molave, firm, resilient, staunch, rising on the hillside, unafraid, Strong in its own fiber, yes, like the Molave!

I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.
