THE LAND WE LIVE IN.


OH bright is the land that we live in,
And soft-bow the breezes around
The stars make a palace Of heaven,
And flowers enamel the groundl
The orange and chestnut are flinging
Their odors divine on the gale,
And the mocking-birds melody ringing
From the bowers that circle the vale.
The land Of the locust and lime
And a song for the sweet stars of heaven
That brighten this beautiful clime
But dearer by far to the minstrel
Thrn all the sweet wealth of this land
Are the maidens who dwell in its bowers,
By mountain, savannah, and strand
And all its rich trophies were given,
As tributes of beauty to these;
And these are the stars of our heaven,
The flowers that gladden. the breeze
Then here's to the land that we live in
The land of the locust and limei
And a song for the sweet stars of heaven
That brighten this beautiful climcl
Twas hymned by bard that the planets
Once, charmed from their passionate home,
Assumed the fair features of woman,
And dwclt in the valleys Of Romel
But sure, if a land eer presented
Temptation to angels, tis ours,
And the vision of song was invented
From form in these soft, sunny bowersl
Then here's TO the land that we live in
The land of the locust and limel
Ami a song for the sweet stars of heaven
That brighten this beautiful cline!
