Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Columbia, the Land of the Free Prelude Now as the world through chancing cycles speeds, And onward moves to its appointed end, Land reaches unto land, creeds blend in creeds; To meet, to fuse, to mingle all things tend: Thus meet the Nations of earth to-day, Thus mingling Arts seek universal sway. Four centuries the moons have waxed and waned. Four centuries the winds and waves have met. Four centuries has Progress wrought and reigned - While in their courses stars have risen and set Since first Columbus looked with eager eyes Toward the West, where golden visions rise. The prophet in his land no honor gains, The hero oft is scorned in his own age; Pined Galileo in ignoble chains; The deeds of martyrs fill the storied page - Yet soon or late repentant nations come To heap with laurel the neglected tomb.
