For twelve years that's past its roots have been
shaded,
The sun Of our fathers with glimmerng did
Its leaves too were dropping, its flowers were

Its blossom before, which all nations surrender
Still waves, with its stars, and its stripes too
are seen.

time to adjourn. He said that he had

Several of onr opponents assured those
