1859 - 1959--
One hundred years have passed since first we stood alone.
And now we tell a tale of joy. of gladness to the ear ;
A tale of pastures green, and rich brown loam;
of rolling downs, and dark rain-forests where we hear
The mountain streams, in crystal coolness rushing to the plains.
Here have we made our homes. This is our land,
To pasture flocks, to till the soil, to build our towns.
We here have fought and died, for freedom from a tyrant hand.
Our sun just risen, may we go on to write
A greater chapter in the book of time.
With hearts yet free in the broadening light,
Let us be free from selfishness, pride, hate, and crime.
Free from these greater tyrants, may we onward move
To greater heights, with freedom to be true, and free to love.
— Roger J. Kennedy.
