Weave but the flag whose bars to-day Drooped heavy o'er our early dead, And homely garments, coarse and gray, For orphans that must earn their bread! Keep back your tunes, ye viols sweet, That pour delight from other lands! Rouse there the dancer's restless feet,-- The trumpet leads our warrior bands. And ye that wage the war of words, With mystic fame and subtle power, Go, chatter to the idle birds, Or teach the lesson of the hour! Ye Sibyl Arts, in one stern knot Be all your offices combined! Stand close, while Courage draws the lot, The destiny of humankind! And if that destiny could fail, The sun should darken in the sky, The eternal bloom of Nature pale, And God, and Truth, and Freedom die! --Atlantic Monthly, July.

Cast away each feud and faction; Brood not over wrong nor ill; Rouse your virtues into action, For we love our country still. Hail, Columbia! Hail, Columbia! Raise that thrilling shout once more; Rule, Columbia! Rule, Columbia! Conquer over sea and, shore. Should the traitors, full of bluster, Come to take away our gain, Then, brave boys, we'll make a muster, And our liberty maintain: And if foreign foes, with fury ‘Tempt to take away our right, Wait not then for judge nor jury-- Up! and at them, boldly fight! For Columbia, just Columbia, Claims our chorus as before; Rule, Columbia! Rule, Columbia! Conquer over sea and shore. See upreared our holy Standard! Come around it, gallant hearts! What! Columbia's fame be slandered, As by fault on our parts! Let the cruel traitors threaten; Let the mad seceders
