Strengthen thy stakes and lcngthcn thy cords -
The world Is tent for the worlds true lords.
Blcak forth and spread over every place.
The world is a wcIld for the Saxon Race
England sowcd the glorious seed,
In hcI wise old laws. and her pure old creed,
And her stout old heart. and her plain old tongue,
And her resolute energies, ever young.
Aud her nee bold hand and her rank fair iace,
And her faith in the rule Of the Saxon Race!
fceby dwindlng day by day
Al other races are fading nway,
The ccnsuaI south aud the servle cast
Aud the tot,cTingthIunc the treachelous priest,
And every land Is in evil case,
But the wide scattered realm ofthe Saxon Race
Engisimen everywhere brethren all
By one great maine on your millions call -
Norman, American, Gael and Celt,
Into lhis ilnc mixed mass ye met,
And oil the best OF your best tiace
In the golden brass olthe Saxon Race
Engshmen everywhere faithful mud free,
Lords OF the land and kings of the sea-
Anglo-SaXon, homes, and true,
BY hundreds OF millions my word is 10 you,--
Love one another as brothers embrace
That the world may be blessed in the Saxon Race

Chlsel in hand stood sculptor boy,
With his marble block before him,
And his face LIT up with a smile OF 10Y,
As all angel dream passed DER him;
Hecnryed the dream ON that shapeless stone,
With many a sharp ncsion
W llh Heavens own light the sculptor shone-

With our souls unueryed, before US;
Waiting the hour, when al Gods command,
