From the Green Mountains' lofty towel's, Where Freedom sits upon her throne, Crowned with a wreath of w^dwood flowers, They come like guests to feasts at noon. Like Saul among the Hebrews, stands Our chief, a head and shoulders higher Than other chiefs, and in his hands Our stripes grow dim, our stars seem nigher ; Upon his brgw the signet seal Of honor shines, and we will crown The honest man, whose heart can feel — Whose arms can strike oppression down. CAMPAIGN SONG. Air—" Hail to the Chief,..." Freemen, the day of your triumph is dawning. Shake out the folds of your banner once more ; Join in the anthem that heralds the morning — See ! the long night of oppression is o'er. Hark ! from our native hills Comes there a shout that thrills Liberty's temple from portal to dome, Glory to God on high ! Union with Liberty, Finds in the hearts of our people a home. Burnish your armors like heroes in story, Sound the loud tocsin that calls to the war ; Freedom enthroned in the land of her glory Bids you march on by the light of her star.
