Explore "A Song of Republics" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Fair Freedom's ship, too long adrift- / Of every wind the sport- / Now rigged and manned, her course well planned, / Sails proudly out of port; / And fluttering gaily from the mast / This motto is unfurled, / Let all men heed its truth who read: / "Republics rule the World!"
The universe is high as God! / Good is the final goal; / The world revolves and man evolves / A purpose and a soul. / No church can bind, no crown forbid / Thought's mighty upward course- / Let kings give way before its sway, / For God inspires its force.
