The material resources of America could be materially enhanced by the application of thrift principles, without in any way injuring legitimate business enterprises.
Dominion.
Lords of disaster, waiting for the dawn to reap.
New glory for the dooms that you have set.
Now glory for the ruins at one,
And bleeding tribute wrung from them
That weep;
Great is your faith above the watch
You keep
Till there shall spring some vintage
Of your own
Out of the tilth of blood and tears
alone,
And trodden breath still crying from
the deep.
Vet. lords of famine, one gift that
discerned
But still a triumph and a dwelling
place.
One masterwork of night is surely
done.
Only your chosen way could so have
earned
The men and brothers of the Belgian
race
Their everlasting stronghold in the sun
