Lol where with patient toll he nursed
And trained the new-sct plant at first,
The widening branches Of q stately tree
stretch from the sunrise to the sunset sea
And in its broad and shelterng shade,
Sitting with none to make afraid.
We're we now silent, through each mighty limb.
Inc winds OF heaven wOnld sing tho praise Of
Our first and hcst!-llis ashes lie
Beneath his own Virgnian sky.
,Trnrrivc forget, o trn" and lust and brave,
The storm that swept above thy sacred gravel
For, ever in the awful strife
-, And dark hours Of the nations life.
Through the fierce tumult pierced his warning
word,
The change for which he prayed and sought
in that sharp agony was wrought;
No partial interest draws its alien limo
'Iw1xt North and South, the cypress and the
pine!
One pcoplc now, all doubt beyond
Ills nalna shall be our Uni0n-lond;
We Iift our hands to heaven, and here and now.
Take on our lips tho old centennial vow.
For @ rule and trust mus: needs t,e ours:
ChG0Scr and chosen both are Jmwcrs
ftlnal Ill se: Vice az in rights: the claim
vi dlty rests oil each and all the same.
Then let the sovcri.n millions. where
Our banner fi0ats in sun aud air,
FROM thc warm palm lands to Alaska's cold
repeat with rs tho pledge century old!
