Wide open and unguarded stand our gates, Named of the four winds, North, South, East and West; Portals that lead to an enchanted land Of cities, forests, fields of living gold, Vast prairies, lordly summits touched with snow, Majestic rivers sweeping proudly past The Arab's date-palm and the Norseman's pine-- A realm wherein are fruits of every zone, Airs of all climes, for lo!
Throughout the year The red rose blossoms somewhere--a rich land, A later Eden planted in the wilds, With not an inch of earth within its bound But if a slave's foot press it sets him free.

Of such a land have men in dungeons dreamed, And with the vision brightening in their eyes Gone smiling to the fagot and the sword.
