Our best constitution, whose halowed ark
Triumphant borne through expressions long STRIFE
When Libery's heart Ihrobs heard mid The dark
Rattle helds, where brave struggled noby for life
Which was borne mid the thunder and carnage Of war,
And sPann'd like how the dark brow OF the storm

The traitor who seeks its proud flag to lower,
Or darken one ray by Its sacred stars she'd

Accused be the hand that their honor would stain;
He wars agains, God who dares war against right,
And woe and rcmorse is the need he will gain.

Which factions dark waves have assaulted in vain;
Our country's past refuge-her futures great trust;
The keystone that freedoms arch doth sustain.
