White men's children spread over the earth --
A rainbow suspending the drawn swords of birth, / Uniting and blending the races in one / The world man -- cosmopolite -- everyman's son!
He channels the stream of the red blood and blue, / Behold him! A Triton -- the peer of the two; / Unriddle this riddle of "outside in"
White men's children in black men's skin.
