We of the New World clasp hands with the Old / In newer fervor and with firmer hold / And nobler fellowship, -- / O Master Singer, with the finger-tip / Of Death laid thus on thy melodious lip!
All ages thou has honored with thine art, / And ages yet unborn thou wilt be part / Of all songs pure and true! / Thine now the universal homage due / From Old and New World -- ay, and still The New!
