Rh Dethrone the wallowing monster

And the clown.

Resolving only that shall grow

In Balkan furrow, Chinese row,

That blooms, and is perpetually young,

That only be held bright and clear

That brings heart-wisdom year by year

And puts this thrilling word upon the tongue:

"The United States of Europe, Asia, and the World."

"Youth will be served," now let us cry.

Hurl the referendum.

Your fathers, five long years ago,

Resolved to strike, too late.

Now

Sun-crowned crowds

Innumerable,

Of boys and girls

Imperial,

With your patchwork flag of brotherhood

On high

With every silk

In one flower-banner whirled—

Rise,

Citizens of one tremendous state,

The United States of Europe, Asia, and the World.
