ODE
.4ir-"Hal Columbia
COMPOSED BY O. STUART, ESQ, NEW YORK.
Huzza the morn in glory breaks
And Freedom from her slumber wakes,
And peals her trumpet TO the skies
While loud a nations voice replies,
Huzza! to the auspcious day
When brightly rose the star of Clay
And high above the stormy blast
The bow Of hope and promise cast,
And broke by Fresdom's temple fame
The remnant OF Expressions chain!
Chorus.
Firm, beneath its steady light,
Let us dare the low'rnK night
Soon shall beam brighter day.
Meath the Star OF Henry Clay
From mountain high, and lowly VALE
And millions from their labor spring
To bid the thund'ring echo ring,
And slowly break tie clouds away,
Whitley onder CLEANS the star Of Clay
Onr Victor, who in might arose,
And, DER the heads of Freedoms foes,
The CONSTITUTIONS banner flung,
And Freedoms fearless challenge rung
Chorus
Firm, beneath &c.
The farmer rests upon his plough
The artzan with sweaty brow
Beside his ringing anvil kneels;
And while the deaf ming echo peals,
He breathcs prayer and halls the day
When brightly rose the star Of Clay
Beneath whose mild Protective light,
The harvest fields again are bright;
While Commences wings spread DER the SEQ,
Bear on the trophies OF the free
Firm, beneath, sc.
And not alone by Freedoms fane
Is heard that stirring trumpet strain
But far, amid the Grecan Isles,
And where Bolvias summer smiles.
What grateful millions hail the day
When brightly rose the star OF Clay!
And cr the tyranrs bloody throne,
With kindng light and glory shone,
And left bow of promise there,
For those who still the letter wear!
Firm, beneath, So
Then let us shout with festal cheer,
And hail the name to freedom dear,
And while our echo shakes the SKY,
Let every freemans heart reply,
iuzza to the suspicious day
Which drove the ssrmy clenl away
Ana beaming DER corruptions night,
restored the balances ofright,-
Where soon, his hand our foes shall weigh,
And turn their idols all 10 Clay.
Firm beneath its steady light,
Let us dare the owring night
soon shall beam brighter day
'Neath the star of HGNRY CLAY!
