名人诗歌|Song of the Broad-Axe（二）

Welcome are all earth's lands， each for its kind，

Welcome are lands of pine and oak，

Welcome are lands of the lemon and fig^1，

Welcome are lands of gold，

Welcome are lands of wheat and maize^{2， welcome those of the}

grape，

Welcome are lands of sugar and rice，

Welcome the cotton-lands， welcome those of the white potato and

sweet potato，

Welcome are mountains， flats， sands， forests， prairies，

Welcome the rich borders of rivers， table-lands， openings，

Welcome the measureless grazing-lands， welcome the teeming^{3 soil}

of orchards^{4， flax， honey， hemp5；}

Welcome just as much the other more hard-faced lands，

Lands rich as lands of gold or wheat and fruit lands，

Lands of mines， lands of the manly^{6 and rugged7 ores，}

Lands of coal， copper^{8， lead， tin， zinc9，}

Lands of iron - lands of the make of the axe^10.
