With Liberty islanded there at thy knee,
Uplifting her welcome to those who’d be free,
And beckoning earth’s trodden down.
We know how the waters divide
And unite for thy pride,
And the lofty bridges of steel stretch hands
To the burg on the height that stands
For thy wealth’s overflow:
With the freighters creeping between,
And the slow, slanted sails slipping to and fro,
