Show OUR COUNTRY. Suggested by the visit of the President. Oh : what a vast and mighty 1 and Is ours! Where sixty millions hold from sea to sea; Without a peer among the sovereign powers, A nation bold, for every man la free. What wealth of gold, and gems and Jewels rare, Our mountains yield, to strengthen this fair land. What vales In richness ran with onrs compare! How fertile, lovely, varied aud how grand! True patriot hearts unnumbered, glow with lire, Since fratricidal strife, is o'er and gone ; The "Stars and Stripes" united love inspire, And haif a hundred states now stand as one. From north aud south, from eat and west, once more Come b!e-,t assurances of loyal love. And free Americans, from shore to shore Esteem fair liberty, all things above. Whose eyes foresee the glory of our race! Who shall the nation's wondrous growth foretell? Shalt kingly tyranny this land disgrace? God seems to say "here liberty shall dwell." I.' AMKHICA1NU. |
