And your pins be all made of American pine:
For our roof we will raise, and our song still shall be
A government firm over citizens free.
Our king-posts are judges: how upright they stand,
Supporting the braces; the laws of the land:
The laws of the land, which divide right from wrong,
And strengthen the weak, by weak’ning the strong:
For our roof we will raise, and our song still shall be
Laws equal and just, for a people that’s free.
Up! up with the rafters; each frame is a state:
