SHE bears no crown upon her brow; She boasts no lineage royal; Her dower is to humanity A heart that's warm and loyal. The proud Republic's child is she, The sovereign People's daughter; Her winsomeness, her womanhood, Nature and Freedom taught her. No herald cries before her path; No frowning guards attend her; Her gracious ways proclaim her best, Her smile is her defender. Let Kingdoms pledge their regal dames — God bless the People's daughter! Her winsomeness, her womanhood, Nature and Freedom taught her. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE DEATH OF A METAPHYSICIAN by GEORGE SANTAYANA SONG TO THE MEN OF ENGLAND by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY AN HYMN OF HEAVENLY BEAUTY by EDMUND SPENSER THE MOCKING-BIRD by FRANK LEBBY STANTON TWO VOICES by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE SISTER TO SISTER by GORDON BOTTOMLEY |
