Fear not each sudden sound and shock, 'Tis of the wave and not the rock; 'Tis but the flapping of the sail. And not a rent made by the gale ! In spite of rock and tempest's roar. In spite of false lights on the shore, Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee. Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears. Our faith triumphant o'er our fears. Are all With thee, — are all with thee! Henry W. Longfellow. The Past has taught its Lesson; the Present has its Duty; and the Future its Hopes.

By the dawn's early light. What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming? Those stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets' red glare, The bombs bursting in air. Gave proof thru the night That our flag was still there. Oh, say, does the star-spangled banner still wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Francis Scott Kca . BATTLE CRY OF THE REPUBLIC. Mine eyes have seen the glory Of the coming of the Lord, He is tramping out the vintage Where the grapes of life are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning Of his terrible swift sword. His truth is marching on. Julia Ward Howe. 53 Echoes from the Nation MARYLAND Thou wilt not cower in the dust, Maryland! my Maryland! Thy gleaming sword shall never rust, Maryland! my Maryland! Remember Carroll's sacred trust. Remember Howard's warlike thrust. And all thy slumbers with the just, Maryland! my Maryland! J. R. Randall. AMERICA My country, ' tis of thee. Sweet land of Liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died. Land of the Pilgrim's pride. From every mountain side. Let freedom ring. Dr. Samuel F. Smith. 54 Echoes from the Nation COLUMBIA THE GEM OF THE OCEAN Columbia, the gem of the ocean, The home of the brave and the free, The shrine of each patriot's devotion, The world offers homage to thee. Thy mandates make heroes assemble When Liberty's form stands in view ; Thy banners make tyranny tremble When borne by the red, white and blue. David T, Shaw. HAIL, COLUMBIA 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 your boast. Ever mindful what it cost. Ever grateful for the prize Let its altar reach the skies.
