England To America

Topics: classic

And what of thee, O Lincoln's Land? What gloom Is darkening above the Sunset Sea? Vowed Champion of Liberty, deplume Thy war-crest, bow thy knee, Before God answer thee. What talk is thine of rebels? Didst thou turn, My very child, thy vaunted sword on me, To scoff to-day at patriot fires that burn In hearts unbound to thee, Flames of the Sunset Sea?
