Welcome, Brazilian brother -- thy ample place is ready;
A loving hand -- a smile from the north -- a sunny instant hail!
(Let the future care for itself, where it reveals its
troubles, impedimentas,
Ours, ours the present throe, the democratic aim, the
acceptance and the faith;)
To thee to-day our reaching arm, our turning neck -- to
thee from us the expectant eye,
Thou cluster free! thou brilliant lustrous one! thou, learning well,
The true lesson of a nation's light in the sky,
(More shining than the Cross, more than the Crown,)
The height to be superb humanity.
