STAR OF COLUMBIA.
Star of Columbia, fair as the morn,
Unsullied by crime, and in Liberty born,
The Giant of Nations, of Freedom and Art:
The Mirror of Nature, the Bold, Honest Heart!
The Arts fly for favor to this happy land,
From Europe?s famed cities to thy fostering hand:
Here find they a favor to aid and to grace,
And are met like a parent, with smiles on thy face.
Here Genius has vent, here the mind's free to roam,
And the soil to the stranger is turned a home;
No longer depressed by fashion?s dull brain,
He lives, and he feels like a Giant again! ]
