Land Of the west, in passing briefly the
record of Thy age.
Thou hast name, that shadows all on
history's wide page.
Let the blast of fame peal out, thine be
the loudest far,
Let others boast their satellites, thine be
the planet star.
Thou hast name, whose character Of
light shall near depart;
'fis stamped upon the brain, ii warns
the coolest heart.
Land Of the west, it stands alone.
1t is eur Washington.
