<p id="id00342">Dear Earth, near Earth, the clay that made us men,<br/>
The land we sowed,<br/>
The hearth that glowed—-<br/>
O Mother, must we bid farewell to thee?<br/>
Fast dawns the last dawn, and what shall comfort then<br/>
The lonely hearts that roam the outer sea?<br/></p>
<p id="id00343">Gray wakes the daybreak, the shivering sails are set,<br/>
To misty deeps<br/>
The channel sweeps—-<br/>
O Mother, think on us who think on thee!<br/>
Earth-home, birth-home, with love remember yet<br/>
The sons in exile on the eternal sea.<br/></p>
