Explore "The United States to Great Britain" by Mary Baker Eddy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ Hail, brother! fling thy banner / To the billows and the breeze; / We proffer thee warm welcome / With our hand, though not our knees.
/ Lord of the main and manor! / Thy palm, in ancient day, / Didst rock the country's cradle / That wakes thy laureate's lay.
/ The hoar fight is forgotten; / Our eagle, like the dove, / Returns to bless a bridal / Betokened from above.
/ List, brother! angels whisper / To Judah's sceptered race, -- / "Thou of the self-same spirit, / Allied by nations' grace,
/ "Wouldst cheer the hosts of heaven; / For Anglo-Israel, lo! / Is marching under orders; / His hand averts the blow."
/ Brave Britain, blest America! / Unite your battle-plan; / Victorious, all who live it, -- / The love for God and man.
