    "Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves."

    Children of my happier prime,
    When One yet lived with me, and threw
    Her rainbow over life and time,
    Even Hope, my bride, and mother to you!
    O, nurtured in sweet pastoral air,
    And fed on flowers and light and dew
    Of morning meadows -spare, ah, spare
    Reproach; spare, and upbraid me not
    That, yielding scarce to reckless mood,
    But jealous of your future lot,
    I sealed you in a fate subdued.
    Have I not saved you from the dread
    Theft, and ignoring which need be
    The triumph of the insincere
    Unanimous Mediocrity?
    Rest, therefore, free from all despite,
    Snugged in the arms of comfortable night.
