IN THE NAME OF THE KING.
(Written for the Album of the Children's Building, Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893.)
Every day of every year is the New World discoveredBy one, by two, by many who gain a wondrous land.
At first they cry, then laugh, then creep, and then, O joy! they stand;
Adventurous, with outstretched arm they straightway take command,
While subjects true kneel worshiping with bowed heads and uncovered.
