10             Poems by Mary Baker Eddy

  	   THE UNITED STATES TO
  	           GREAT BRITAIN 

 1	    HAIL, brother! fling thy banner
  	      To the billows and the breeze;
 3	    We proffer thee warm welcome
  	      With our hand, though not
  	        our knees. 

 6	    Lord of the main and manor! 
  	      Thy palm, in ancient day,
  	    Didst rock the country's cradle
 9	      That wakes thy laureate's lay. 

  	    The hoar fight is forgotten;
  	      Our eagle, like the dove,
12	    Returns to bless a bridal
  	      Betokened from above. 

  	    List, brother! angels whisper
15	      To Judah's sceptered race, — 
  	    "Thou of the self-same spirit,
  	      Allied by nations' grace,

18	    "Wouldst cheer the hosts of heaven;
  	      For Anglo-Israel, lo! 
  	    Is marching under orders;
21	      His hand averts the blow."

 1	    Brave Britain, blest America! 
  	      Unite your battle-plan;
 3	    Victorious, all who live it, — 
  	      The love for God and man.
