"WE ARE ONE"

bond stronger than love, a force mightier than time.

"While the manners, while the arts,
     That mould a nation's soul,
 Still cling around our hearts,
     Between let ocean roll,
 Our joint communion breaking with the sun;
     Yet, still, from either beach,
     The voice of blood shall reach
     More audible than speech,
 'We are one.'"
