Here is no starveling—Heaven-forsaken—

Shrinking aside where the Nations throng;

Proud as the proudest moves she among them—

Worthy is she of a noble song!

Sing me the might of her giant mountains,

Baring their brows in the dazzling blue;

Changeless alone, where all else changes,

Emblems of all that is grand and true:

Free as the eagles around them soaring;

Fair as they rose from their Maker's hand;
