AS shines within fraternal eyes
The light of jubilee.
Henceforth the sound of strife shall

Where'er our rivers run
Our fallow soil the plow of peace
Turns upward to the sun!
The bloody chasm shall yawn no more
Rebellion's dying bed

The Nation g hate is dead,
Old toes are friends. For each has

His brother was as brave:
And baffled ''nlaster" has discerned
The man within the slave.

The old flag seems to be.
When Hampton grasps the hand of

And Schurz the hand of Key!
Mere luminous unto other hands
Shines every glowing star,
When Sherman beside Mosby stands.
And Douglass with Lamar!
Oh, let the song of triumph risel
The starry flag float free,
AS shines within fraternal eyes
The day of jubilee!
And may the voice of d:scord cease
Where 'er our rivers run
Our fallow soil the plow Of peace
Turns upward to the sun!
