To the United States of America

by Robert Seymour Bridges
 Brothers in blood! They who this wrong began 
To wreck our commonwealth, will rue the day 
When first they challenged freeman to the fray, 
And with the Briton dared the American. 
Now are we pledged to win the Rights of man: 
Labour and Justice now shall have their way, 
And in a League of Peace -- God grant we may -- 
Transform the earth, not patch up the old plan. 

Sure is our hope since he who led your nation 
Spake for mankind, and ye arose in awe 
Of that high call to work the world's salvation; 
Clearing your minds of all estrangling blindness 
In the vision of Beauty and the Spirit's law, 
Freedom and Honour and sweet Lovingkindness.

Small Is The Trust When Love Is Green

by Robert Louis Stevenson
 SMALL is the trust when love is green
In sap of early years;
A little thing steps in between
And kisses turn to tears.

Awhile - and see how love be grown
In loveliness and power!
Awhile, it loves the sweets alone,
But next it loves the sour.

A little love is none at all
That wanders or that fears;
A hearty love dwells still at call
To kisses or to tears.

Such then be mine, my love to give,
And such be yours to take:-
A faith to hold, a life to live,
For lovingkindness' sake:

Should you be sad, should you be gay,
Or should you prove unkind,
A love to hold the growing way
And keep the helping mind:-

A love to turn the laugh on care
When wrinkled care appears,
And, with an equal will, to share
Your losses and your tears.
