They bring across oceans in merchant marine,

Luxuries of life now by us all seen,

Grown and shipped from the uttermost lands,

Divided from us by seas, deserts and sands.

Those natural laws we are learning to use,

Based upon justice according to the views

Of publicists and statesmen applied

To nations dealing with nations the world wide.

Now the crude implements of death once used

By ancients, are thrown aside and refused.
