J 30 L^NPPED STATES
When the battle was ended, as homeward he speeds,
His heart full of pride at the glorious deeds
Of the hickory twigs, and the laurels so green,
He meets with his sweetheart, and shows her the ring,
Whispers, beauty and booty, and that sort of thing;
And just a twelvemonth from the eighth, on that day,
He will tell his young wife of the glorious fray
Of the hickory twigs, and the laurels so green.
Long life to the land that gave Jackson his birth.
Proud land of the laurels, be fertile the earth
Where the hickory blooms, and the laurel so grern.
May the blood-thirsty savage, and Europe's piumd
slave.
Remember the arm that could conquer and save •
They have had enough cause to remember the day
When they met Jackson men in their battle arrajv.
With their hickory twigs, and their laurels w
green.
Tlie Peasant Boy.
Thrown on the wide world, doom'd to wander and
"roam.
Bereft of his parents, bereft of a home,
A stranger to pleasure, to comfort and joy,
Dehold little Edmund, the poor peasant boy;
Oh pity, oh pity the poor peasant boy.
Oh pity, oh pity tlie poor peasant boy.
Fm wUling to labor, I'm w illing to toil.
For fortune will ever on industry smile.
But ah! not a creature w^ill deign to employ
A wand'rer like Edmund the poor peasant boy.
Then pity, oh pity the poor peasant boy.
Then juty, oh pity tlie poor peasant boy.
