The brow of beauty and the form of grace,

The passion and the prowess of our race;

The song of Homer in its loftiest hour,

The unresisted sweep of human power;

Britannia's trident on the azure sea,

America's young shout of Liberty!

Oh! may the waves which madden in thy deep

There spend their rage nor climb the encircling steep;

And till the conflict of thy surges cease

The nations on thy banks repose in peace."
