The morning broke, - the war
 clouds rolled From our fair land away; No tyrant's hand these shores con-
 troled
 With it's relentless sway. They hailed him victor, laurel
 wreathed,-
 They blazoned his fair name;- While modestly his sword he
 Sheathed,
 Nor asked for wealth or fame. Then at the helm Of state he stood, The infant nations guide Along the dark and biIlOwy flood To haven safe and wide. Serenely as the summer sun Sinks in the glowing west. So, when his life's great work was
 done,
 Our Hero went to rest. By fair Put0mac's flowing tide In peaceful calm he sleeps While OCT his tomb, with grateful
 pride
 His land her vigil keeps. And eEermore her sons shall pay A tribute fairly won. Upon this long remembered day, To the great Washington.
