History & Politics
From '85
From Songs of the Great Dominion (1889)
History & Politics
SHALL we not all be one race, shaping and welding the nation ?
Is not our country too broad for the schisms which shake petty lands ?
Yea, we shall join in our might, and keep sacred our firm Federation,
Shoulder to shoulder arrayed, hearts open to hearts, hands to hands !
