Delaware Awake Has she ever slept.
When laughter was needed or tears 4
be wept?
When her hand wrote the legend W,
all love 10 tell
Twas Delaware's pen rang the Lib
crty Bell.
In those dear dead days 40 long son,
BY
With our loved Constitution 10 ratlfy
Did II flnd her asleep all know
the story
How she placed that FIRST star in the
field Of Old Glory.
When tho call came for men. wide
awake as you know.
Every chick Of tho blue hen was ready
TO go.
She answers all calls as she answered
that day
When tho famous old Delaware line
marched away.
When from over the sea the war busle
blew,
Old Delaware's heart was stll beating
true.
Awake with. her money. her men and
her power,
sho alled her own place in the need Of
the hour.
Think you she viii sleep while her
own children plead2
For the welfare OF health and OF mind
they so need?
'Tls the life ot her future she'll meet
face 10 face,
And she'll distance all runners she
meets In the race.
she'll bo true 10 her standard IN peace
. as In war
Her esculcheon unblemlshed VIII shine
as Of yore
For Drawn or for brain, It's no matter
which.
Yod'l never Ind Delaware asleep at
the switch"
