- A Far Country
- Leslie Pinckney Hill - 1880-1960
- Beyond the cities I have seen,
- Beyond the wrack and din,
- There is a wide and fair demesne
- Where I have never been.
- Away from desert wastes of greed,
- Over the peaks of pride,
- Across the seas of mortal need
- Its citizens abide.
- And through the distance though I see
- How stern must be the fare,
- My feet are ever fain to be
- Upon the journey there.
- In that far land the only school
- The dwellers all attend
- Is built upon the Golden Rule,
- And man to man is friend.
- No war is there nor war’s distress,
- But truth and love increase—
- It is a realm of pleasantness,
- And all her paths are peace.
