Alfred Austin's Poem on Cooperation Be
tween England and America.
The London Daily Mail, under the
caption of "A Voice From the West. y
recently printed poem by Alfred Aus
tin, the poet laureate, which is based
ON the idea of sympathy and co-opera
tion between Great Britain and the
United States. The poem follows:
What is the voice hear -.
On the wind of the western scar
Sentinel, listen from our Cape Clear
And say what the voice may be.
IT'S proud, free people calling loud
To people proud and free.
And it says to them. kinsmen, hall
We severed have been too long.
Now let us have done with worn out tale,
tale of an ancient wrong,
And our friendship last long as love doth
last.
And be stronger than death lie strong.
Answer them. sons Of the selfsame race
And blood Of the selfsame clan.
Let us speak with each other face to face,
And answer as man to man.
And Loyalty love and trust each other
As none but freemen can.
Now fling them out to the breeze
Shamrock, thistle and rose
And the star spangled banner unfurl with
these.
A message to friends and foes
Wherever the sails of peace are seen,
And wherever the war wind blows.
A message to bond and thrall to wake,
For wherever we come we twain.
The throne Of the tyrant shall rock and
quake
And his menace be void and vain;
For you are lords OF strong, young land.
And we are lords of the main.
The final verse, which is not cabled,
re-echoes the econd.-Specisl cable to
New York Sun.
