Explore "To the Women of Australia" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A toast to the splendid daughters / Of the New World over the waters, / A world that is great as new; / Daughters of brave old races, / Daughters of heights and spaces, / Broad seas and broad earth places- / Hail to your land and you!
The sun and the winds have fed you; / The width of your world has led you / Out into the larger view; / Strong with a strength that is tender, / Bright with a primal splendour, / Homage and praise we render- / Hail to your land and you!
Sisters and daughters and mothers, / Standing abreast with your brothers, / Working for things that are true; / Thinking and doing and daring, / Giving, receiving, and sharing, / Earning the crowns you are wearing- / Hail to your land and you!
