Oh for a muse of fire! to mount the skies,
And to a list'ning world proclaim-

Behold! behold! an empire rise!
An era new, Time as he flies,
Hath enter'd in the book of Fame.
On Allegheny's tow'ring head
Echo shall stand-the tidings spread,
And o'er the lakes, and misty floods around,
An era new resound.

See! where Columbia sits alone,
And from her star-bespangled throne,

Beholds the gay procession move along,
And hears the trumpet, and the choral songs
She hears her sons rejoice-

Looks into future times, and sees
The num'rous blessings heav'n decrees,

And with her plaudit, joins the gen'ral voice.
"Tis done! 'tis done! my sons," she cries,
"In war are valiant, and in council wise:
"Wisdom and valour shall my rights defend,
"And o'er my vast domain those rights extend;
"Science shall flourish; genius stretch her wing,
"In native strains Columbian muses sing;
"Wealth crown the arts, and justice clean her scales,
"Commerce her pond'rous anchor weigh,
"Wide spread her sails,

"And in far distant seas her flag display.

"My sons for freedom fought, nor fought in vain;
"But found a naked goddess was their gain:
"Good government alone can show the maid,
"In robes of social happiness array'd."
Hail to this festival! all hail the day!

And let the people's motto ever be,
"United thus, and thus united, free."
