I SEE AMERICA MARCHING

Behold—a continent—America!—hurls itself over the seawayTo crush the hateful tyranny of the squat Teutonic land.For following the khakied line and the driving fleetsKatahdin lifts an awakened head, and summons his brothers to follow—An army of mountains marching to battle!Mount Washington comes, Mount Mitchell wakes, Bald Head and Round Top answer the call,Pike's Peak and Massive Mountain trumpet over the plain,Rainier and Whitney, Shasta and Hood advance to the onslaught,And Mount McKinley leads frozen Alaska to the charge.
How the squat Hunnish summits cower!Zugspitze and Schneekoppe flatten, Altvater and Arber flee,Brocken and Vogelsberg scream horribly as the Adirondacks and Rockies surge upon them.
