Toil on, Heroes! harvest the products!Not alone on those warlike fields, the Mother of All,
With dilated form and lambent eyes, watch'd you.
28
Toil on, Heroes! toil well! Handle the weapons well!The Mother of All—yet here, as ever, she watches you.
29
Well-pleased, America, thou beholdest,Over the fields of the West, those crawling monsters,
The human-divine inventions, the labor-saving implements:
Beholdest, moving in every direction, imbued as with life, the revolving hay-rakes,
The steam-power reaping-machines, and the horse-power machines,
93
Beholdest the newer saw-mill, the southern cotton-gin, and the rice-cleanser.
30
Beneath thy look, O Maternal,With these, and else, and with their own strong hands, the Heroes harvest.
31
All gather, and all harvest;(Yet but for thee, O Powerful! not a scythe might swing, as now, in security;
Not a maize-stalk dangle, as now, its silken tassels in peace.)
