Verse 6

Of all the romance retold

Men of tales and tunes

Cruel and bold

Seen here

By eyes of old

Stand and listen to the birds

Hear the cool, clear song of water

Harken to the words:

Freedom at the birth of a century

Or May 1913

Edwin and Edwina named after him

Or on the eighth a scene

Where law defended

Between two arms extended

Below the bar that binds

Beside the long palm’s shadow

Embedded in the sand

Waits the Fair remuneration

White house close at hand.
