Once, on a fresh and fragrant eve I wandered up an island steep; The tints, which rosy sunset leave, Lay purple on the heaving deep; A day of tempest, dark and stern, Was closing in an hour as bright As ever gemmed the summer fern, Or turned the mountain streams to light. Unmindful of the breakers' war That raged along the lonely strand, I watched beyond the waves afar "The green hills of my father-land." Long have I chased them o'er the sea. By surge and tempest tossed and driven, And where they rose to welcome me, Clothed in the fairest hues of heaven.

There-! room -nough for nil. What need of all this fuss and strife, Each warring with his brother? Why should we, in the crowd of life, Keep trampling down each other? Is there no good that can be won, Without a squeeze to gain it? No other way of getting on, But scrambling to obtain it? Oh, fellow-men, hear wisdom, then, In friendly warning call . "Your claims divide, the world is wide There's room enough for all!" What if the swarthy peasants find No fields for honest labtr, He need not idly stop behind, To thrust aside his neighbor. There is a land with sunny skies, Which gold for toil is giving, Where every brawny hand that tries Its strength, can grasp a living. Oh, fellow-men remember then, Whatever chance befall. The world is wide where those abide, There's room enough for all! From poisoned air ye breathe in courts, And typhus-tainted alleys, Go forth and dwell where health resorts, In fertile hills and valleys, Where every man that clears a bough Finds plenty in attendance, Oh, hasten, then, from fevered den, And lodging cramped and sma'1; The world is wide in land beside There's room enough for all! In this fair region faraway, Will labor find employment A fair day's work, a fair days pay, And toil will earn enjoyment. What need, then, of this daily strife, Where each war with his brother? Why need we, through the crowd of lifr, Keep trampling down each other? From rags and crime that distant clime Will free the pauper's thrall; Take fortune's side the world's so wide Has room enough for all!
