COME, I will make the continent indissoluble;
 I will make the most splendid race the sun ever yet shone upon;
 I will make divine magnetic lands,
 With the love of comrades,
 With the life-long love of comrades.


 I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of
 America, and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over
 the prairies;
 I will make inseparable cities, with their arms about each other's
 necks;
 By the love of comrades,
 By the manly love of comrades.


 For you these, from me, O Democracy, to serve you, ma femme! 10
 For you! for you, I am trilling these songs,
 In the love of comrades,
 In the high-towering love of comrades.
