Chronicles of a pioneer school from 1792 to 1833 : $b being the history of Miss Sarah Pierce and her Litchfield school
Litchfield Female Academy (Conn.) -- History
Ye sons of Columbia who bravely have fought
For those rights which unstained from your Lives had descended
May you long taste the blessings your valor has bought
And your Sons reaps the soil which your fathers defended
Mid the reign of mild peace
May your nation increase
With the glory of Rome and the wisdom of greece
And ne’er may the sons of Columbia be slave
While the earth bears a plant or the sea rolls in waves.

Tallio. Winter. The absent lover. Friendship. The beauties of
friendship. The praise of archery. The sheep in the Cloisters. Plato’s
advice. The Bachelor’s Lamentation. The wandering lamb. General Wolf.
The Sailor’s Consolation. The Hermit. The Blue Bells of Scotland. Hail
Columbia. Within a mile of Edinburgh. The Sailor boy. Tally Ho. The
Happy Soldier. Affettuoso. Tom of Aberdeen.
THE WOMAN OF MERIT DESCRIBED.
Without affectation, gay youthful & pretty
Without pride or meanness familiar and witty
Without forms obliging good nature and free
Without art as lovely as lovely can be
She acts what she thinks and thinks what she says
Regardless alike of both censure and praise
Her thoughts and her words and her actions are such
That none can admire her or praise her too much.

The faithful soldier.
JEFFERSON AND LIBERTY
The gloomy night before us flies
The reign of terror now is o er
Its gags inquisitor and spies
Its hords of harpies are no more
Rejoice Columbia sons rejoice
To tyrants never bend the knee
But join with heart and soul and voice
For Jefferson and Liberty
O’er vast Columbia’s varied clime
Her lilies Forests Shores and dales
In rising majesty sublime
Immortal Liberty prevails
Rejoice Columbia’s Sons &c.
Hail long expected glorious day
Illustrious memorable Morn
That freedoms fabric from decay
Rebilds for millions yet unborn
Rejoice Columbias Sons &c.
His countrys glory Hope and stay
In virtue and in Talents tryd
Now rises to assume the sway
Oer freedoms temple to preside
Rejoice Columbias Sons &c.
Within its hallowed walls immense
No hireling bands shall eer arise
Arrayd in Tyrannys defence
To crush an injured peoples cries
Rejoice Columbias Sons &c.
