o fair young land the youngest, fairest far
Of which the world can boast
Whose guardian planet, Evenings silver star,
Illumes thy goded coast
How art thou conquered flmed in all the pride
or fsavage beauty still!
How brought panther of the splendid hide,
10 know thy masters will
No more thou sitest on thy tawny hills,
In indoent repose
Or pour's the crystal of "A thousand rills
Down from thy house of SHOWS.
But where the wild oats wrapped thy knees in
The plowman drives his share; Tgold
And where, through canOus deep thy streams a. c
The miners arm is bare rolled,
Yet in thy lap thus rudely rent and torn,
A n0bler seed shall lie
Mother Of mighty men, thou shalt not mourn
Thy lost yirginity
Thy human children shall restore the grace
Gone with thy fillen pines;
The wild, barbaric beauty Of thy face
Shall round to classic lines
And Order, Justice, Social Law shall curb
Thy untamed energies
And Art and Science, with their dreams superb,
Replace thine ancient ease.
The marble, sleeping in thy mountains now,
Shall live in sculptures rare;
Thy native oak shall crown the sage's brow
Tny bay the poets hair.
Thy tawnv hills shall bleed their purple wine,
Thy valleys yield their oil
And Music, with her eloquence divine,
Persuade thy sous to toll.
Till Hesper as he trims his silver beam,
No happier land shall see,
And Earth shall find her old Arcadian dream
Restored again in thee
