No sound of anguished voice by land or sea;
The old-time wail shall so be stilled forever,
And Dives shall not be!
FREE LAND IS NOT ENOUGH.
Free land is not enough. In earliest days
When man, the baby, from the earth’s bare breast
Drew for himself his simple sustenance,
Then freedom and his effort were enough.
The world to which a man is born to-day
Is a constructed, human, man-built world.
