“Hail, Columbia! happy land!
Hail, ye heroes! heaven-born band!

Who fought and bled in Freedom’s cause,
And when the storm of war was gone,
Enjoyed the peace your valor won.
Let independence be our boast,
Ever mindful what it cost;”

The mountain stood exalted in its place.
So love will take between the hands a face. . . .”
