    l
    Not yet Rizal, not yet. Sleep not in peace:
    There are a thousand waters to be spanned;
    There are a thousand mountains to be crossed;
    There are a thousand crosses to be borne.
    Our shoulders are not strong; our sinews are
    Grown flaccid with dependence, smug with ease Under
    another's wing.
    Rest not in peace;
    Not yet, Rizal, not yet. The land has need
    Of young blood -- and, what younger
    than your own,
    Forever spilled in the great name of freedom,
    Forever oblate on the altar of the free?
    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 fibre; yes, like the
    molave!
