Song of the Future

First published December 1889

And it may be that we who live in this new land apart, beyond
The hard Old World grown fierce and fond and bound by precedent and bond,
May read the riddle right and give new hope to those who dimly see
That all things yet may be for good, and teach the world at length to be
One vast united brotherhood.
