Christ’s kingdom comes on land and sea:—
The rule of love, the reign of good,—
The whole round world one brotherhood!
THE GREATER REPUBLIC.
Our destiny was cast in an imperial mold,—
Our mission drawn on an immenser plan
Than marked, in deathless lines, our sires’ high faith of old,—
Earth’s broadest-visioned prophecy of man.
From ancient feuds removed, and favoring seas between,
In isolation enviable, supreme,
