In loving study of what used to be,

Has grown to treat our West with the same scorn

England has had for us since we were born.

You’d think to hear this Eastern judgment hard

The West was just New England’s back yard!

That all the West was made for, last and least,

Was to raise pork and wheat to feed the East!

A place to travel in, for rest and health,

A place to struggle in and get the wealth,

The only normal end of which, of course,
