The Cities are full of pride,
Challenging each to each —
This from her mountain-side,
That from her burthened beach.
They count their ships full tale —
Their corn and oil and wine,
Derrick and loom and bale,
And rampart’s gun-flecked line;
City by city they hail:
“Hast aught to match with mine?”
And the men that breed from them
They traffic up and down,
But cling to their cities’ hem
As a child to the mother’s gown.
When they talk with the stranger bands,
Dazed and newly alone;
When they walk in the stranger lands,
By roaring streets unknown;
Blessing her where she stands
For strength above their own.
(On high to hold her fame
That stands all fame beyond,
By oath to back the same,
Most faithful-foolish-fond;
Making her mere-breathed name
Their bond upon their bond.)
So thank I God my birth
Fell not in isles aside —
Waste headlands of the earth,
Or warring tribes untried —
But that she lent me worth
And gave me right to pride.
Surely in toil or fray
Und . . .
