Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poem Delivered at the Dedication of the Pan-American Exposition
Reat Sister of a peerless sisterhood, Dear Sovereign of a sovereign people's realm, Thou whose strong hand first gripped the waiting helm Of the bright ship whose chart reads - Liberty And turned her prow into the Western sea, We, in thy name, and as thy people should, With arms extended, and the door Wide thrown, Welcome thy sisters of the mighty name, To all that thou hast willed should be our own. To thee - to them - thy sisters, not in blood, But of one heart, of purposes the same, Throughout whose veins exults the untamed flood That drives the pulse of all who would be free, This labour of our hands and brains and hearts, Man's palm in Nature's struck and hers in Art's, At the chief Commonwealth's fair farthest gate We dedicate.
