"WPlcoMe! DER the ocean blue,
Welcome to the youthful West,
Ardent hearts, and Spirits true,
Greet thee, as a favor'l guest.
Well our Mother-land has taught US
How to honor those whose skill
From the realms of genius broughtus
Varied treasures, at their will.
Add her children would not be
False to her,-or cold to thee
And that Mother-land hath shownus
How the strangers heart to cheer;
by her hearth.stone she hath PLACID US,
There to learn her lessons dear;
Ofsuch fair example, we
Would not forgetful be.
On our lips, her accents linger,
10 our VEINS, her blood doth run,
And heavcn-born faith inspireth
Child and parent both as one;
SO we breathe, with spirit Free
Iova In her ond lovp m thee
