With eyes serene and tender;
Above her head the starry flag
Displays its streaming spiendor.
The North gallant lover came
And at her door aiishted;
To him beneath the palm aEd pine
Her solemn troth she plishted
The ring that seals forevermore
Their hearts and hands wsis moulded
From guns that lay on giorys fed
In rust and roses folded.
