I will stand free, though lonely, ’neath the sun.
“I fear no foe, since I am friend to all;
I fear no evil, since I wish no harm;
I will not keep my soldier sons in thrall;
They shall be slaves no more—let them disarm!”
That State will stand upon the heights of time
Foremost in honor, bravest of the brave;
Girded with glory, radiant, sublime,
This shall her title be, “The strong to save!”
While other nations boast of arms or art,
