lack;
The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back;
But the glory of the Present is to make the Future free,-- 10
We love our land for what she is and what she is to be.

_Oh, it's home again, and home again, America for me!
I want a ship that's westward bound to plow the rolling
sea,
To the blessed Land of Room Enough beyond the ocean bars, 15
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars._

1. How many places are mentioned by name? Tell what
and where each is.

2. What does the author admire in the Old World?
What does he mean by his distinction between London
and Paris? List the things the author misses in the
Old World. How is America contrasted with Europe?
Explain line 15, page 334.

3. Report on other writings of Dr. van Dyke. Which
of his outdoor books do you know?

Love thou thy land, with love far-brought
From out the storied Past, and used
Within the Present, but transfused
Through future time by power of thought.

--_Alfred Tennyson._

WARREN'S ADDRESS AT THE BATTLE OF
BUNKER HILL

BY JOHN PIERPONT

Stand! the ground's your own, my braves!
Will ye give it up to slaves?
Will ye look for greener graves?
Hope ye mercy still?
What's the mercy despots feel? 5
Hear it in that battle peal!
Read it on yon bristling steel!
Ask it--ye who will!

Fear ye foes who kill for hire?
Will ye to your homes retire? 10
Look behind you! they're afire!
And, before you, see
Who have done it! From the vale
On they come!--and will ye quail?--
Leaden rain and iron hail 15
Let their welcome be!

In the God of battles trust!
Die we may--and die we must;
But, oh, where can dust to dust
Be consigned so well, 20
As where heaven its dews shall shed
On the martyred patriot's bed,
And the rocks shall raise their head,
Of his deeds to tell?
