The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1888-03-29


To smite the subtle foe;
le Let Treason's forces wildly rave.
e And all their arts employ.
- There stands-the bravest of the brave
l. Our fearless Buckeye Boy.
l. When Fame shall fold her gittering scroll
And Time shall be no more
When waves eternal, ceaseless, roll
q Above this crumbling shore
There still shall glisten, far and high
Z That sign of fadeless joy,
Emblazon'd on the arching sky
