BRITAIN AND COLUMBIA.

Then, Brothers, be at peace and love each other,
Let us contend for mastery no more,—
Britain! Columbia! let the name of brother
Echo with tenderness from shore to shore:
We dare not hope that alien wars are o'er;
We fear there yet must rage the strife of tongues;
The races and religions of mankind,
Mixing tumultuously their rights and wrongs,
Yet with the flesh will battle out the mind:
But us, one speech unites; to us, one birth,
One altar, and one home, one Past belongs;
One glorious Present over all the earth;
One Future! hark, the strain prophetic swelling,
Brothers in unity together dwelling!
