To Live In Hearts We Leave Behind

Our Land, The First Garden Of Liberty's Tree-- It Has Been, And Shall Be, The Land Of The Free.

Who Hath Not Own'd, With Rapture-smitten Frame, The Power Of Grace, The Magic Of A Name.

Who Hail Thee, Man! The Pilgrim Of The Day, Spouse Of The Worm, And Brother Of The Clay.

United States, Your Banner Wears Two Emblems--one Of Fame; Alas! The Other That It Bears Reminds Us Of Your Shame. Your Banner's Constellation Types White Freedom With Its Stars, But What's The Meaning Of The Stripes? They Mean Your Negroes' Scars.

For There No Yew Nor Cypress Spread Their Glom But Roses Blossom'd Each Rustic Tomb.
