A SONG.
1
COME, I will make the continent indissoluble;
I will make the most splendid race the sun ever yet
shone
upon;
I will make divine magnetic lands,
With
the love of comrades,
With the life-long love of comrades.
2
I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the
rivers of
America, and along the shores of the
great
lakes, and all over the prairies;
I will make inseparable cities, with their arms about
each
other's necks;
By
the love of comrades,
By
the manly love of comrades.
3
For you these, from me, O Democracy, to serve you,
ma femme!
For you! for you, I am trilling these songs,
In
the love of comrades,
In
the high-towering love of comrades.
