6 UNITED STATES
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam.
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream.
'Tis the star spancrled banner, oh ! long may it wjve,
O'er the land of the free, and the home ol the brave.
And where i^that band, who so vauntinc^lv swore.
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusii.n,
A home and a country shall leave us no niore .'
Their blood hath wash'd out their foul fooLstcj s
pollution.
No refuge could save, the hireling and slave.
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave
And the star spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free, and the honv.* of the brave
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home, and the war's desolation;
Blest Avith vict'ry and peace, may the heaven rcscuwl
land.
Praise the power that hatli made and preserv'd us a
nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just.
And this be our rnotto, *' In God is our trust;''
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er tlie land of tlie free, and the home of the brave
Hurrali for tlic Bonnets of Blue,
As sung by Miss C. FISHER, at the Park Theatre.
Here's a health to them that's awa.
Here's a health to them that's awa,
And wha winna wish guid luck to our cause,
May never guid luck be their fa'.
Its guid to be merry and wis^,
Its guid to be honest and true,
Its guid to support Caledonia's cause,
And bide by the bonnets of blue.
