Ours to Acliieve ] Freedom must generate in progress — this Is what it means to be American. The vision that the world is waiting is The same that traced its way in wagon-tracks Across empurpled plain and precipice, And whispered in the starlit tamaracks Where travelers told of freedom in the West Around the fires of hopeful bivouacs. . . . And as this continent was free to take. And thus awoke the hope of all mankind, So now, in hope, we hear the future break On the unsovereigned beaches of the mind. — Russell W. Davenport Page 16
