Sun Of the stately Day,
Let Asia into the shadow drift,
Let Europe bask In thy ripened ray,
And ever the severing ocean lit
A brow Of broader splendor
Give light to the eager eyes
or the Land that waits to behold thee rise
The gladness Of morning lend her,
With the triumph Of noon attend her,
And the peace Of tho vesper skies
For, 10 she cometh now
With hope on the lip and pride on the brow,
Stronger, and clearer, and fairer,
To smile on the love we bear her,
| To live, as we dreamed her aud sought her,
Liberty's latest daughter
In the clefts Of the rocks, In the secret places,
We found her traces;
On the hills, in the crash Of woods that fall
We heard her call itii4A
When the limos OF battle broke.
We saw her face In tho hery smoke "a
Through toll, and an guish, and desolation,
We followed and found her
With the grace Of virgin nation
As sacred zone around her
Who shall rejoice
With righteous voice,
Far. heard through the ages, II not she
| For the menace Is dumb that deded hsr,
The doubt Is dead that denied her,

Foreseen IN the vision Of .,ges,
foretsld when martyrs bled,
She was born Of the longing OF agos,
Dy the truth Of the noble dead
And the iaith o. the hving led
No blood In her lightest VEINS
Nor shame of bondage has bowed her head,
In her form and features still
The unblenchins Puritan will,
Cavalier honor, Huguenot grace,
The Quaker truth and sweetness,
A nd the strength Of the danger. .girdled race
OF Holland, blend in a proud completeness.
From the homes Of all, where her being began,
She took what she gave to man
Justice, that knew no station,
Belief, az soul deoreed,
Free air for aspiration,
Free force for independent deed
She takes, but TO give again,
Az the sea returns the rivers 10 rain;
gathers tho chosen Of her seed
Prom the hunted Of every crown and creed
Her Germany dwelis BY a gentler Rhine,
Her Ireland seems the old sunburst shine;
Her France pursues some dream divine
Hor Norway keeps his mountain pine
lisr Italy waits by the western brine;
