That have long been away from our shore.
Bright flowers wiz deck thy fair brow.
And sweet be the soft balmy gale,
The songs Of the robin breathe now
To welcome thee back to our vale.
Then haste thee. fair Queen of the year
Wen give thee a warm welcome hand
For thou doth in splcndor appear,
To cheer up the hearts Of our land.
