The American Girl.

Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her glory;
Her warriors wreath is in our hand,
Our lips breathe out her glory,
Her lofty hills and valleys green,
Are shining bright before us
And like a rainbow sign is seen
Her proud flag waving o'er us.
And there are smiles upon her lips
For those who meet our foemen,
For glory's star knows no eclipse,
When smiled upon by women.
For those who brave the mighty deep,
And scOrn the threat of danger;
We've smiles to cheer, and tears to weep
For every ocean ranger.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our songs are for her freedom;
Our prayers are for the gallant band
Who strike where honor leads them.
Who love the taintless air we breathe,
('Tis freedoms endless dower)
Well twine for him an endless wreath
Who scorns tyrants power.
They tell me of Frances beauties fair,
Of Italy's proud daughters:
OF Scotand's lassies-England' fair,
And nymph's of Sharon's waters.
We need not boast their naughty charms
Though lords around them hover,
Our glory lies in freemen's arms
A FREEMAN for a lover!
