READING

Read this poem about the poet's love for his country.

 

She is rich and rare land;

Oh! she's a fresh and fair land;

She is a dear and rare land - 

This native land of mine.

 

No men than her's are braver -

Her women's hearts ne'er waver;

I'd freely die to save her,

And think my lot divine. 

 

She's not a dull or cold land;

No! she's a warm and bold land;

Oh! she's a true and old land-

This native land of mine.

 

Oh, she's a fresh and fair land;

Oh, she's a true and rare land!

Yes, she's a true and fair land-

This native land of mine.

-Thomas Davis
