Yes, give me the land
Where the ruins are spread,
And the living tread light
On the hearts Of thu dead
Yes, give inc land
That both legends and lays,
That tell Of the memoric.
OF long vanished days,
Yes, give inc the land
That hath story and song,
To tell Of the strife,
OF the right with the wrong
Yes give me the land,
With n grave in each spot,
And names in the graves
That shall not be forgot.
Yes, give me the land
Of the wreck and tho tomb
There's grandeur in graves
There's glory In gloom
For out Of the Eloon
Future brightness is born.
A., ainer the night,
Looms the sunrise Of morn.
And the graves Of the dead,
With the srass overgrown,
May yet form the Goosstool
or Libertys throae;
And each simple wreck
10 the way-path Of might,
Shall ye. be a rock
In the temple Of Right
