“All we have of freedomAll we use or knowThis our fathers bought for usLong and long ago”
“There is sorrow enough in the natural wayFrom men and woman to fill our day;But when we are certain of sorrow in store,Why do we always arrange for more?Brothers & Sisters, I bid you bewareOf giving your heart to a dog to tear.”
“Cross that rules the Southern Sky!Stars that sweep, and turn, and flyHear the Lovers' Litany: -'Love like ours can never die!”
“Our hearts where they rocked our cradle,Our love where we spent our toil,And our faith, and our hope, and our honor,We pledge to our native soil.God gave all men all earth to love,But since our hearts are small,Ordained for each one spot should proveBeloved over all.”
“We had a kettle; we let it leak:Our not repairing made it worse.We haven't had any tea for a week...The bottom is out of the Universe.”
“The tumalt and shouting dies,The captains and the kings depart.Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,An humble and a contrite heat.Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,Lest we forget, lest we forget.”
