FOR YOU O DEMOCRACY.
COME, I will make the continent indissoluble, |
I will make the most splendid race the sun ever shone upon, |
I will make divine magnetic lands,
With the love of comrades,
With the life-long love of comrades.
|
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.
|
For you these from me, O Democracy, to serve you ma femme! |
For you, for you I am trilling these songs. |
