Thine ardent love. thy sacrifice,
To keep her honor fir

And gratitude aud memory keep
Their faithful annals there.
Exalted holy deeds alone
Have made Q nations heart thine own,
Thy blessed name 80 dear -
Not that the wrsaths OF honor brigns
Are shining on thy brow ofisht
Art thou beloved alone .
Der Poland wrongd thy soul main wepsi
Ger Erias tears the vigil kspt-
Their sorrows mi ds thine own.
Had cleaned forth With darker dye,
Had not thy heaven-taught sou
With pseriot feeling fred each breast,s
flushing the wavy storm to rest,
Columbias pride thy spotess name
Aud Thousands riss, no ono.
To hail thu bright and radiant star
Whose glorious beams reflect afar
The brightness Of the sun.
