By an American.
God said, I am tired of kings,
I suffer them no more;
Up to my ear the morning brings
The outrage ‘of the poor.
Think ye I made this ball
A field of havoc and war,
Where tyrants great and tyrants small
Might harry the weak and poor?
I will never have a noble,
No lineage counted great;
Fishers and choppers and plowmen
Shall constitute a state.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson.
