So impatient, full of action, full of manly pride and friendship,
Plain I see you Western youths, see you tramping with the foremost,
Pioneers! O pioneers!
Have the elder races halted?
Do they droop and end their lesson, wearied over there beyond the seas?
We take up the [task eternal], and the burden and the lesson,
Pioneers! O pioneers!
All the past we leave behind,
[We debouch] upon a newer mightier world, varied world,
Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march,
