To that giant land of America who can out of
her two fine eyes of all people’s interests and co-operation with all nations
upon all these miles of four leading eyes weave this divine sunrise of birth and
life into lush gardens of paradise where that white dove of peace and union does
highly soar and fly through all the times of bards and poets beneath that
beautiful sky and fine horizons of that sun and bright moon whose beams and
light of truth and beauty can be darkened and beclouded, oh that giant land by
that one eye of only your interests and power that may lead all to forest and
bush of conflict and strife.
The
Giant Land
By Dr. Hamza M. Al-Hassan
O that intermittent river
And deep magic sea
Of imagination and creation
Narrate in pleasure and joy
Out of your treasure
Of feelings and thoughts
With values and emotions
To all on all
These fine countless miles
Of east and west
With north and south
About that giant land
Of America and country
That out of its
World policy can either
Be lightened or beclouded upon
This divine fleeting sunrise
Of birth and life
O that river and sea
That sun and moon
Of truth and beauty
That all does call
Either to add or beautify
While quick and fast
O that river and sea
They sail and flow
From east down to west
Of dumb real nest.
