Queen of the lofty thought, the generous deed,

Whose sons unconquer’d fight, undaunted bleed,—

Inspiring Liberty! thy worshipp’d name

The warm enthusiast kindles to a flame;

Thy charms inspire him to achievements high,

Thy look of heaven, thy voice of harmony.

More blest with thee to tread perennial snows,

Where ne’er a flower expands, a zephyr blows;

Where Winter, binding nature in his chain,

In frost-work palace holds perpetual reign;
