To Washington.Above all honored to our nation known, Thou whom, when our dear country's hope had flown, And death and ruin to our hearthstones neared- When dying patriots for their loved ones feared, And prayed deliverance from the cruel crown___ O thou who struck the direful enemy down___ Her haughty hosts from all our harbors veered: From depths of Valley Forge to Yorktown's height, With heavenly justice armed and power divine, Marched on to victory and eternal right___ Heaven sing thy praise. It is not mine, Or mortal, to depict the light Thy virtue o'er a world doth make to shine! __Colfax Burgoyne Harman |
