DEAR COUNTRY MINE.

BY RICHARD WATSON GILDE

Dear country mine! far in that viewless west, And ocean-warded, strife¹ thou too hast known; But may thy sun hereafter bloodless shine, And may thy way be onward² without wrath³, And upward on no carcass of the slain⁴; And if thou smitest let it be for peace And justice--not in hate, or pride, or lust⁵ Of empire. Mayst thou ever be, O land, Noble and pure as thou art free and strong; So shalt thou lift a light for all the world And for all time, and bring the Age of Peace.
