Abrahamic river—

Patriarch of floods,

Calls the roll of all his streams

And watery mutitudes:

Torrent cries to torrent,

The rapids hail the fall;

With shouts the inland freshets

Gather to the call.

The quotas of the Nation,

Like the water-shed of waves,

Muster into union—

Eastern warriors, Western braves.
