Her virile wealth of sun and soil and ore,

Her new-born Freedom’s force—far nobler store.

With sectional lines and warring feuds effaced,

Their racial problems solved—their blots erased—

Full in that vision circumfused shall rise

A symbol that his life-rays crystallize,

For all our state-loves lit in him to stand—

For bonds that Georgia’s Genius lent to all our land.

Henry O’Meara.
