The Spirit of its mountains and its seas,

Its cities, temples, fields, its awful power,

Its rights and virtues—by that Deity

Descending, and supporting his pure heart

With patriotic confidence and joy.

And, at the last of those memorial words,

The pining Solitary turned aside;

Whether through manly instinct to conceal

Tender emotions spreading from the heart

To his worn cheek; or with uneasy shame
