Oh, wives! when o'er the cradled child ye bend at evening's fall,

And voices which the heart can hear across the distance call;

Oh, maids! when, in the sleepless nights, ye ope the little case,

And look till ye can look no more upon the proud young face,

Not only pray the Lord of Life, who measures mortal breath,

To bring the absent back unscathed out of the fire of death;

Oh, pray with that divine content which God's best favor draws,

That, whosoever lives or dics, he save his holy cause!

unfurled,

From where the stately Hudson floats the wealth of half the world;

From where, amid his clustered isles, Lake Huron's waters gleam;

From where the Mississippi pours an unpolluted stream;

From where Kentucky's fields of corn bend in the Southern air;

From broad Ohio's luscious vines; from Jersey's orchards fair;

From where, between his fertile slopes, Nebraska's rivers run;

From Pennsylvania's iron hills; from woody Oregon; And Massachusetts led the van, as in the days of yore,

And gave her reddest blood to cleanse the stones of Baltimore.
