Old lion heart how light the SHOWS


Of ages rest upon thy head;


While, far and wide, thy fercesr foes


Are numbered with The silent dead
Within thy manly bosom leaps -'
The life's blood as in days of old.
When sank the slain in crimson heaps
BY Chatahoochee's waves Of gold.


Thy batte-swerd, unshearhed in wrath


Where tempests brood and eagles mouIt,
Flashed on the red mans blasted path


Like the avengers thuBder-bolt ..i4; :
BY ambuscades and sylvan bowers, .'''A'
r From ranks TO ranks its terrors few: .ei
Till, streaming from the land OF flowers,
-. 1t drank the blood Of Waterloo. : j.. :,
More precious than the sceptre found 81. y


Amid the grim old RoderIck's DUST r, i.as
In friendships hands, with garlands crowned
-; 1t rests, a nations sacred trust; -.s.l-ss s.e
And when 1t CLEANS in triumph where ~
.. The island queen her empire ,sWays, .sl-.
Let the bold English knight beware 20 e-st. i


The conqueror's steel Of other days. ..
Man of the Hermitagel live on, ~,


To bless the land, and crown thy fame.
81 TILL like a second Washington,
A41 The nations wake to shout thy name : -
Live on, amid earth's fairest bowers, ".'~ H"'
An oracle of truth and love.


And fiud, at last, mid blooming flowers,
vsd A pathway TO thy rest above. - Z.''',t'
