MEN AND WOMEN, STRONG AND SOUND 213

This then shall carry our labor within,
Safely within
The land that shall be.

Land that shall be!
Tears that are shed over evil’s foul blight,
Blood-sweat in conflict to win higher right,
Hallow the will unto victory’s cost.
Let us be lost,
Rooting out wrong, that the good we may sow,
Soon overgrow

The land that shall be.

Land that shall be!
Looming in beauty of colors and song,
Golden in sunlight that glad makes and strong,
Present in children’s eyes, looking to-day
Down when you pray.
Winning good victories gives us the power
To own a brief hour
The land that shall be.

YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN, STRONG AND
SOUND

Youne men and women, strong and sound,
Adorn with beautiful excess
Of play and song and flower-dress
