When first young America gavo to tho world Man's chnrtor of rights In her bold Declaration, When first to tho sun nnd brouzo wns unfurled Her flng of tho morn thnt proclaimed her n nation, No foothold hnd freedom In nil of tho earth, No homo hnd democracy outsldo a prison, And ovcry rcpubllo'thnt since una had birth Is child of hers, through her oxnmplo hnB risen Till nil of tho continents now hnvo divined Tho light of tho now dny thnt breaks for mankind. First Franco caught tho gleam, slio whoso soldiers hnd fought As brothers with ours; with tho blood nnd the trensuro She gnvo unto us her own frcodom Bho bought, Repaid thus in llborty's bounteous measure Then glistened tho light upon Switzerland's crags. Next nil tho Americas glowed Into morning And, undor tho onglo's wing, blossomed with tings, A wrcnth of republics tho Now World ndornlng. nrnzll followed Boon, nnd then over tho sen Our guns thundered chorus nnd Cuba was freo. Tho growing republican phnlanx moves on, Proud Portugal yestordny swelling tho number. Today o'er tho orient blushes tho dawn And China awakes from her ages of slumber. Tomorrow what now land will turn to tho light? Already tho rule of tho people growa strongor Throughout all tho earth, nnd tho dny Is In Bight When kings nnd their minions shall govern no longer; Already the orn of promlBo Is nigh When each land shall boast.
