What Though No Tow'r Display, Man's Work Of Other Days; And, Though Her Sun's Bright Rays In The Old Time;

Gleam'd on no mighty fanes, Built by the toiling pains Of slaves, in galling chains, In the earth's prime.

Hers is a new bright land; By God's divine command, Where each industr'us hand, Willing to toil;

What though no song records, Deeds of her martial hordes, Who made, with conquering swords, Heroes sublime.

Gathers the fruits of peace, Gathers the golden fleece, And the fair earth's increase, From the rich soil.

Hers is a flow'ry crown; Science and Hope look down On each new glitt'ring town, Whose structures rise;

And to Time's latest age, Hers shall, the brightest page, Written by bard or sage, Be, 'neath the skies.
