By J. G.. Percsval
Hail to the land whereon we tread,
Our fondess boast;
The sepulchre of mighty dead.
The truest hearts that ever bled,
Who sleep on glory's brightest bed,
A fearless host
M slave is here--our unchain'd feet
Walk freely as The waves that beat
Our coast.
Our fathers cross'd the oceans wave
To seek this shore:
They left behind the coward slave
TO weller in his living grave:
With hearts unbent. high. steady, praVe'
They sternly bore -,
Such tolls as meaner souls had quello'
But souls like these such tolls imPelrd
To soar.
Hail to the moon, when first they stood
On Bunker's height;
And fearless stemm'd the invading flood,
And wrote our dearest rights IN blood,
And mow'd in ranks the hireling brood
IN desperate fight.
Q! twas proud exulting day,
For ev'n our fallen fortunes lay
In hight.
There is no other land like thee,
No 6earer shore;
Thou art the shelter of the free;
The home, the port of liberty
Thou hast been, and shalt ever De,
Till time is DER.
Ere forget to think upon
My land, shall mother curse the son
She bore.
Thou art the firm unshaken rock.
On winch we rest;
Aud, rising from thy hardy stock,
Thy sons the tyrant's frown shall mock,
And free the Oppressed;
All. who the wreath Of freedom twine,
Beneath the shadow of their vine,
Are blest.
: We love the rude and rocky shore,
And here we stand.
Let foreign navies hasten Ger,
And on our heads their fury. pour,
And peal their cannon's loudest roar,
And storm our land:
They still shall find our lives are giv'n
To die for home: aud leant on heaven
Our hand.
