The Republic and the Mother Land.

The City of sunset gold.
Saxon and Norman in one welded
Shook out one flag like fire;
But westward. westward, moved the
cleaning goal,
Westward, the vast desire;
Westward and ever westward ran the
call.
They followed the pilgrim sun,
Seeking hat land which should en-
fold them all.
And weld all hearts in one.
Here on this mightier continent apart,
Here on these rolling plains,
Swells the first throb Of that imnor-
tai heart,
The pulse of those huge veins.
Still, at these towers. our Old-World
cities jest,
And neither hear nor see
The brood of goods at that gigantic
breast,
The %conquering race to be.
Chosen from many-for no sluggard
soul
confronts that might Of stsrs!-
The trumpets of the last Republic roll
Far off. an end to wars;
age.
That made and keeps us. blind:
A mightier realm shall be her heri-
tage,
The kingdom of mankind,
Chosen from many nations. and made.
one;
But first. o Mother. from thee
When drawn from out thy soul by
Gods great sun,
Thy Mayffower crossed the sea.
