FREEDOMS ANNIVERSARY.

Flutter the flags from school and steeple;
Throb the drums over road and street;
Thrill the air with the shouts of people,
Eager the day of their pride to greet.
Children hail it with gleeful voices,
Old men flush as its thunders break,
Telling aloud how the land rejoices
From the pine to the palm for freedoms sake.
Freedom, over the stormy waters,
Brought by a handful, faint and few,
Birthright now of our sons and daughters,
Hal!owed by valor and long years through.
Freedoml Lord, let the four winds sing it!
Freedomi Soft let us breathe its name.
Far and wide let the strong bells ring it;
Wide and far be its lofty fame.
Lift we now a triumphant chorus;
God be praised both by great and SMALL
Ever his dear love watcheth DER us;
Still his banner is over us all.
Through the desert he safely led us;
Into the promised land we came.
In our want and our griefs he fed us;
Ever. forever We'll praise his name.
Dawns the day in summer splendor-
Day that dawned amid blood and tears,
Back in the time when no surrender
Brave men made unto coward fears.
Tell to our boys and girls the story,
How they wrought for the nations veal,
Who thenceforward have this their glory
Tempted and tried, they were true as steel.
