The noble in soul, and the fearless of heart;
At Freedoms stern call, TO the combat again
They rush with a zeal she alone can impart.
From the wild Madswaska's dark forest of Pune
10 the far fertile glades where the calm Wa
bash flows.
True sons of their fathers The people combine
To shake off the chains Of their tyrants aud foes
They're gathering, they're gathering, on bill side
and plain,
i They swarm every vale and o'ershadow each
river,
Each hamlet aud dell is made vocal again,
With the soul thrilling cry Of "ovR COUNTRY roR

The flag OF the free 10 the breeze is unfurlcd
Around 1t they rally to guard lis fair fame
And well may the foe Of corruption be bold,
In the glory and strength Of their Harrison's
name. IA
Where the noble Ohio IN wild beauty sweeps
Where the swim Susquehanna bears onward It's

Andce where the Hudson in calm grandeur sleeps
There are thousands oi ifeemen Who scoru 10 be

Arouse then true hearts 10 the battle once more
And the spoilers shall quail al your allantarrsy
Despair fades behind US Hope morn dawns before
