XXIV.

All gone! ’tis ours, the goodly land—

Look round—the heritage behold;

Go forth—upon the mountains stand,

Then, if ye can, be cold.

See living vales by living waters blessed,

Their wealth see earth’s dark caverns yield,

See ocean roll, in glory dressed,

[p18]
For all a treasure, and round all a shield:

Hark to the shouts of praise
