Let its altar reach the skies!

Hail, Columbia!


WILLIAM WORDSWORTH.[465:1]  1770-1850.

Oh, be wiser thou!

Instructed that true knowledge leads to love.

Lines left upon a Seat in a Yew-tree.

And homeless near a thousand homes I stood,

And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.

Guilt and Sorrow. Stanza 41.
