Quotes

• New England! ours
  Art thou, as England's thine: thy children own
  The common parentage. Nor they alone,
  But wheresoe'er is heard our English tongue —
  World-widely flung
               For coming hours.
  Be with us then,
  Thou greater England! second but in time:
  Our age shall welcome our young giant's prime,
  As in his sons a father takes delight,
  Proud of the height
               Of younger men.
  • England to America, 1876: A New-Year's Greeting (Cambridge, MA: Welch, Bigelow, & Co, University Press, 1876) sts. 16–17
