The Earth (Poems of Power)
From ImmortalPoetry
Jump to navigationJump to searchby Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The earth is yours and mine,
Our God’s bequest.
That testament divine
Who dare contest?
Usurpers of the earth,
We claim our share.
We are of royal birth.
Beware! beware!
Unloose the hand of greed
From God’s fair land,
We claim but what we need—
That, we demand.
