Once again the Declaration in his nerve
less hands he holds,
And before the waiting statesmen Its
prophetic hope unfolds;
Reads again the word puissant: "All men
are created free"
Claims again for man his birthright,
claims the worlds equality,
Hears the coming and the going of an
hundred firm set feet,
Hears the summer breezes blowing mid
the oak trees cool and sweet;
Sees again tall Patrick Henry by the side
Hears him cry. And will we sign it?-it
will make all nations free!
Fear We not the axe or gibbet; it shall
topple every throne, -,
Sign II for the worlds redemptionl-All
mankind its truth shall own
Stars may fall, but truth eternal shall
not falter,, shall not fall ...r

Then the dream began to vanish-bur-
gesses, the wars red flames,
Charging Tarletong proud CORVALLIS,
navies moving on the James,
Years of peace, and years of glory, all be-
gan to melt away,
And the statesman woke from slumber in
the night, and tranquil lay,
And his lips moved; friends there gath

loves low and tender ear

Bright and beauteous from the wood
