(The Spirit of the Land to the Old Pioneer)
Out of the vastness I heard a voice / That echoed from sea to sea, / Singing the song of the olden years, / The song of the years to be; / Tender and sad, as it sought its way, / Through hovel to banquet hall, / Seeking for those who would understand, / The love of the mother call.
