THE SWORD OF WASHINGTON.


Come forth to the light, old blade of steel!
Come forth, and let the freeman's eye
In reverence gaze, and proudly feel
The glow of liberty.
In times that tried mems SOULS" when man
Stood boldly forth, and plead his right;
Thou vert seen blazing in the van
To freedoms friends beacon light.
The sword Of Washington! the sage
Where wisdom ruled the council hall;
Whose form amid the battle rage
Was foremost at his cOuntry's call.
The sword of Washington, the blade
The Gideon blade, whose lightnings hurled
Destruction on the ioe--and made
The cry Of freedom shake the world.
Unstained as when il was first drawn,
Behold, giads the patriots eyes;
1t woke to light at freedoms dawn,
Twill only sleep when freedom dies.
Then let it drink the SUMS pure light,
A hGly gifi to gaze upon
The sign Of Freedoms right and might
The battle sword Of Washington.
