BY
WILLIAM DELISLE HAY,
AUTHOR OF
"THREE HUNDRED YEARS HENCE," "THE DOOM OF THE GREAT CITY," ETC.

"Queen of the seas, enlarge thyself!

Send thou thy swarms abroad!

For in the years to come,—

Where'er thy progeny,

Thy language and thy spirit shall be found,—

If—

—in that Austral world long sought,

The many-isled Pacific,—

When islands shall have grown, and cities risen

In cocoa-groves embower'd;

Where'er thy language lives,

By whatsoever name the land be call'd,

That land is English still."

Southey.
