Within his heart east shall be one
With West, and his effaceless thought
Shall be that earth was made for all
Its millions driven and sore-distraught.
For he at last shall look and see
Through all the creeds about him hurled,
His nation is humanity,
His country is the world.
I am busy working to bring Cale Young Rice's "The New Patriot" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Cale Young Rice's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The New Patriot" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
