He is pure americana.
For You O Democracy
Come, I will make the continent indissoluble,
I will make the most splendid race the sun ever shone upon,
I will make the divine magnetic lands,
With the love of comrades,
With the life-long love of comrades,
I will plant companionship thick as trees along the rivers of
America, and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over
the prairies,
I will make inseperable cities with their arms about each other's
necks,
By the love of comrades,
By the manly love of comrades.
For you these from me, O Democracy, to serve you ma femme!
For you, for you I am trilling these songs.
