Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The Earth

The earth is yours and mine,
     Our God’s bequest.
That testament divine
     Who dare contest?
 
Usurpers of the earth,
     We claim our share.
We are of royal birth.
     Beware! beware!
 
Unloose the hand of greed
     From God’s fair land,
We claim but what we need—
     That, we demand.
