CHOICE ie

Great our future shall be;
For the Northern lands three
Shall unite once again and their true selves shall know.
Give your strength and your deed,
Where you nearest see need,
As a brook to the river that forward shall flow.

Yes, this land where we dwell,
Oh, we love it so well,
All it was, all it is, all it can be again.
As our love had its birth
In this home-land’s dear earth,
Shall the seed of our love bring it increase again.

CHOICE

A prin for me I choose!

In it the old things tumble,
In it things new refresh us;
It makes a mighty rumble,—
But peace is not so precious
As that his will man shows.

April for me I choose,

Because it storms and scourges,
Because it smiles and blesses,
Because its power purges,
Because it strength possesses, —
In it the summer grows.
