The American Girl.

The American Girl.Our hearts are with our native land,Our song is for her glory;Her warriors’ wreath is in our hand,Our lips breathe out her story.Her lofty hills and valleys green,Are shining bright before us;And like a rainbow sign is seenHer proud flag waving o’er us.And there are smiles upon our lipsFor those who meet her foemen,For glory’s star knows no eclipse,When smiled upon by woman.For those who brave the mighty deep,And scorn the threat of danger,We’ve smiles to cheer, and tears to weepFor every ocean ranger.Our hearts are with our native land,Our songs are for her freedom;Our prayers are for the gallant bandWho strike where honor leads them.We love the taintless air we breathe,’Tis freedom’s endless power;We’ll twine for him an endless wreathWho scorns a tyrant’s power.They tell of France’s beauties fair,Of Italy’s proud daughters,Of Scotland’s lasses, England’s fair,And nymphs of Shannon’s waters.We need not boast their haughty charmsThough lords around them hover,Our glory lies in freedom’s arms—AFreemanfor a lover!
