Página 19 - Up in each girded breast There sprang a rooted and mysterious strength — A loftiness — to face a world in arms, — To strip the pomp from sceptres,' — and to lay Upon the sacred altar the warm blood Of slain affections, when they rise between The soul and God.
Página 25 - Our fathers crossed the ocean's wave To seek this shore ; They left behind the coward slave To welter in his living grave ; — With hearts unbent, and spirits brave, They sternly bore Such toils as meaner souls had quelled ; But souls like these such toils impelled To soar.
Página 25 - HAIL to the land whereon we tread, Our fondest boast ; The sepulchre of mighty dead, The truest hearts that ever bled, Who sleep on Glory's brightest bed, A fearless host : No slave is here ; our unchained feet Walk freely as the waves that beat Our coast. Our fathers crossed the...
