When confronted by his accusers, the

WHICH LAND is BEST?

When all the battles are lost and are won.

The question is pondered by you and me,
AS gayly were sailing this summer sea,
But as to the answer, we disagree.

And his heart beats quick and his moist
AS he fondly Sings Die wacht am Rhein.'
But the Frenchman jeers at the German
While a tribute to France you hear him
In the fervent strains of the IN arsenlaise."
At the Frenchmans boasting, the Scotch
What land so bonnie beneath the skies
AS the land where the great Sir Walter
lies?"
Then Muscovite voice is heard declare:
''Were my fellow creatures but wise and
They'd dote, to a man. on the Russian
bear"
The Irishman answers. with scornful smile:
And you'll find no land like the Emerald
Isle"
The Englishman comments, in accents
bland:
I'm thinking there's only one civilized
land,
And Britain's it's name, you must under
stand"
The Yankee, rising. with deep emotion
Exclaims: I'm firmly set in the notion
MyEagles the gem of land or ocean"
So, after the battles are lost and won,
The last word spoken, the argument DONE
Which, which is the best land under the
sun?
The question is pondered by you and me,
As gayly We're sailing this summer sea,
And, on second thinking, we all agree,
We are not divided, saving in name;
In essence each choice is really the same
1t springs from common, ineffable flannel
Whatever our race wherever we roam.
