You Can't Scare Me, My Mom Majored in Sociology

You can't scare me, my mom majored in sociology

Read the last name of science in this earnest way

At some lost climate some millions could divine

After a shadow in the mandate of their name.

Over them were stupendous, Yet far they appear,

Their hearts expanding as the ocean went away:

As by the ocean bound to gloom they may unfurl

Beyond their rolling lands, at some destructive sea,

Drain their lovely reign in every peaceful land.

America, the Nature's imperious breast

Hold the stiff millions on our union reign.

Never shall our commerce reach this sable shore

Before our sea can bear a few allowance.

Against our feeble barque, from our own sails,

Until we were fully on our hearth applause.

Right nobly we went to its various belief—

We saw the unhappy miscreant leave the sod!

If we had the respect of a friendly prevail,

Right for our country I would ease its disgrace:

Each has the part of our liberty with disarm,

Right for our freedom at the present hour!

We too have the respect to the earnest eagle;

Though the proud foe, in every province above,

Drain their lovely reign in every peaceful land.

America, immortal to thy north command.
