Song of Columbus Day.
Columbia, my landI All hail the glad day
When first to thy strand Hope pointed the way;
Hail him who thro darkness first followed the
flame
That led where the NJ ayfiower of Liberty came.
Dear Country the star of the valiant and freel
The exiles afar are dreaming of thee.
No fields Of the Earth go enchantingly shine,
No air breathes such incense, such music as
thine.
Humanity IS homel thy sheltering breast
Gives welcome and room to strangers oppressed.
Pale children of Hunger and Hatred and Wrong
Find life in thy freedom and joy in thy song.
The fairest estate the lowly may hold,
Thy poor may grow great thy feeble grow bold;
For worth is the watchword to noble degree
And manhood is mighty where manhood is free,
o Union Of States, and union of Souls!
Thy pr omise awaits, thy future unfoIds,
And earth from her twilight is hailing the sun,
That rises where people and rulers are one.
