To north the North Pole, south as far

As ever eagle cleaved his way;

To east the blazing morning star,

And west? West to the Judgment Day!

No borrowed lion, rampt in gold;

No bleeding Erin, plaintive strains;

No starving millions, mute and cold;

No plundered India, prone in chains;

No peaceful farmer, forced to fly

Or draw his plowshare from the sod,
