The richest flowers OF spring,
To the green mounds where lie the brave
Your Moral tribute bring,
Keen fresh I'm memory's choicest niche

BY those who saved from treasons grasp
The land OF Washington,
From dark rebellion's ruthless hand
Our country rests secure,
A home for all who choose 10 COME,
A home that will endure.
A land that sends her influence forth
To all OF other lands;

With liberty eXpands.
The tropic Island OF the Sea,
Tired of the rule Of Spain,
Raises the banner Of the free
Against her kingly reign.
The despots Of the olden world,
Who hoped to see us sink,
Are all dismayed that now we stand,
Saved! on our ruins brink
And shall we fail to give the need
or earnest, grateful praise
To those whose fOrtitude secured
our nation length Of days?
No! Let fair maidens bring their flowers
To strew upon each bier;
And with the springtime's gentle showers
Let fall the thankful tear
For, safe beyond all future harm,
Coumbias soil is best
Now let the patriotic thrill
Arise in every breast.
Bring forth the flowers OF blooming spring
To deck the soldiers grave;
Let joyful voices anthems sing
In memory Of the brave.
