Centre of equal daughters, equal sons,
All, all alike endear’d, grown, ungrown, young or old,
Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,
Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love,
A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother,
Chair’d in the adamant of Time.

Composed under the guidance of Dr. Daniel Kellogg at the University of Colorado.  Soft, repetitive harmonies and a sharp, wild melody combine to express a temporarily alternative, perhaps cynical, reaction to this otherwise powerfully robust, forward-looking poem.
