LAND OF LIBERTY.

10 Liberty's enraptured sight,
Whon first Columbia's region shone,
She hailed il from her starry height
And, smiling, claimed it as her own.
"Fair land" the goddess cried, "be free!
Soil of my choice! to fame nrise!'
She spoke, and heavens minsrelsy
SweIlea the loud chorus through the skies
All hail, forever great. and free
Columbia-land Of liberty.
Columbia's genius heard the strain,
And proudly raised his dropping crest;
His sons impatient filled the plain,
While painted high each patriots breast:
Their fetters they indignant spurn,d
They waved their faulch;ops in the air,
And where the goddess altar burn'd,,
From kneeling warriors rose the prayer
To die be ours, if thou art flee,
Columbia-land of liberty.
War blew the clarion loud and long;
Oppression led his legons on,
To battle rush'd the patriot throng,
And soon the glorious day was won
Each bleeding freeman smiled in death;
Flying he saw his country's foes,
And, waited by his latest breath,
To heaven the cheerful pean rose ..
Content die, for thou ar. free!
Columbia land of liberty.
And shall we ever dim the fires
That flames on freed om's hundred shriIres ,
Shall glory's children shame their sires!
Shall towards spring from heroes loins?
No, BY the-blood of our fathers shed,
o, Freedom in thy holy cause,
When streaming from the martyr'd dead,
II seal'd and sanctified thy laws
We swear to keep thee great and tree
