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.
