No lordling here with gorging jaws Shall wring from industy the food Nor fiery Bigots holy Laws Lay waste our fields and streets in blood Rejoice Columbia’s Sons &c. Here strangers from a thousand shores Compelled by tyranny to roam Shall find amidst abundant stres A noble and a happier home Rejoice &c. Here art shall lift her laurel head Wealth industry and peace divine And where dark pathless forest spread Rich fields and lofty Cities shine Rejoice &c. From Europes wants and woes remote A dreary waste of wave between Here plenty cheers the humble Cot And smiles on every village green Rejoice &c. Here free as airs expanded space To every soul and sex shall be That sacred privilege of our race The worship of the deity Rejoice &c. The gifts great Liberty are thine Ten thousand more we owe to thee Immortal may their memories shine Who fought and dyd for Liberty Rejoice &c. What heart but hails a scene so bright What soul but inspiration draws Who would not guard so dear a right Or die in such a glorious cause Rejoice, &c. Let foes to freedom dread the name But should they touch the sacred tree Twice fifty thousand swords shall flame For Jefferson and Liberty Rejoice From Georgia to Lake Champlain From seas to Mississippis shore Ye sons of Freedom loud proclaim The reign of terror is no more Rejoice [Illustration: PL.
