Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 1. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 138 (search)
Why Otis' tongue of flame; Hancock and Adams, live they yet, Or live they but in name? They cannot die! immortal truth Outlasts the shock of time, And fires the faithful human heart With energy sublime. They live! on every hill and plain, By every gleaming river, Where'er their glowing feet have trod, They live and live for ever. The mem'ry of the past shall raise Fresh altars to their name; And coming years, with reverent hand, Protect the sacred flame. We know no North, nor South, nor West; One Union binds us all; Its stars and stripes are o'er us flung-- 'Neath them we'll stand or fall. Then stay your hands, ye traitor host, And cease your vain endeavor; God guards our Union good and strong, For ever and for ever. He sleepeth not like heroes dead, And mouldering in the grave; His outstretched arm is quick to smite, Omnipotent to save. Lo! he shall break the coward hand, And brand the traitor knave, With more than Arnold's deathless shame-- With his accursed grave. F. A. H.
