Beautiful Union.Air—Beautiful Venice.Beautiful Union! Liberty’s home!More queenly than Greece, more immortal than Rome!How fondly thy name in our love is enshrined—How close to all hearts are thy glories entwined;For Freedom’s bright banner waves over thy soil,And beneath it, secure, every freeman may toil;For of all the world’s lands there is no land like thee,My Beautiful Union! The Land of the Free!Beautiful Union! Pride of the earth!With thee all the hopes of the people had birth;Thy shores are their refuge from tyranny’s ban—Where justice and freedom are pledged unto man!And the dastard who doubts thee, the wretch who betrays,Accursed of all mankind shall end his vile days!For of all the world’s lands, there is no land like thee—Our Beautiful Union! the Land of the Free!
