Each morning slowly pass,
The city's streets along,
We hear the voices of the class
Ring out the Nations song
The lassles' treble piping clear,
The ladies deep bass growl,
And from the boy who has no ear
weird, discordant howl.
with MS swelling CdDv hearts OF we tD ssrs them sing
From childish throats the anthem ring
'Sweet land OF Liberty!'
Their little hearts aglow with pride,
Each with exultant tongue
Proclams: From every mountain side
Let Freedoms song be sungw

iFrom scenes like these our grandeur springs,
And we shall e'er be strong.
While DER the land. the school house rings
Each day with Freedoms song
