1. Come, I will make the continent indissoluble; / I will make the most splendid race the sun ever yet shone upon! / I will make divine magnetic lands, / With the love of comrades, / With the life-long love of comrades.
2. I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of America, / and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over the prairies; / I will make inseparable cities, with their arms about each other's necks; / By the love of comrades, / By the manly love of comrades.
3. For you these, from me, O Democracy, to serve you, _ma femme_! / For you! for you, I am trilling these songs, / In the love of comrades, / In the high-towering love of comrades.
