There's star in the West that shall never go down

We must worship its light though it is not our own
For liberty bursts in It's ray.
Shall the name OF WASHINGTON ever be heard
BY n freeman and thrill not his breastl
Is there ons out Of bondage that halls not the word
As the thlehon Star OF the Vest
"War, war to the knife be enthrsed or ye die -
Was the echo that walked 10 the land
But il was not his voice that prompted the cry,
Nor hi, madness that kindei the brand

Likea long batel lion unclaimed
lie struck with firm courage the blow Of the brave,
Ba sighed DER The carnage that spread;
He Indignantly trampei tle yoke Of the slave,
Bat wept for the thousands that bled
Tho ne threw backthe letters aud headed the strife,
Til Mans charter was fairly restored;
Yet he prayed Tor the moment when Freedom and
Life
Would no longer be pressed by the sword.
Oh, hs lanrels were pure, and hi1 patriot name
In the page Of the future shall dwell,
And Ne seen in all annals the foremost in fame,

That his was the glory and ours the blood
