<h2><SPAN name="poem22"></SPAN>THE EARTH</h2>
<p class="poetry">The earth is yours and mine,<br/>
Our God’s bequest.<br/>
That testament divine<br/>
Who dare contest?</p>
<p class="poetry">Usurpers of the earth,<br/>
We claim our share.<br/>
We are of royal birth.<br/>
Beware! beware!</p>
<p class="poetry">Unloose the hand of greed<br/>
From God’s fair land,<br/>
We claim but what we need—<br/>
That, we demand.</p>
