Show AMERICA. ' Thou mighty nation, great and free, Whose glory cannot die, Let our exultant song to theo Now echo far and high. Let all who thy free bounty share, Allegiance firm for aye declare, To thy benign and equal sway, Where all who rule obey. To thy sacred shrine each freeman brings Devotion all unknown to kings, Worthy the minds and hearts wherein It springs. Though rich in glory be the past, Our destiny today Demands achievements now. and vast, To speed us on our way. Two heaven-sent tasks must yet be wrougji, Oppressors must bo sternly taught, Both rich and poor to fear our laws, And love's most holy cause. In honor, truth and valor won, Make labor, law and love as one, And heaven be thus on earth begun. L EDWARD HADLEY, Brighani City. |
