Lyics

Far, far in the east may fair

Freedom ascend,

And fly with the winds to the west;

While blessings unnumber'd her progress attend,

And liberty crowns the oppress'd.

Let Peace her domain o'er all nations extend,

With friendship all kindreds be bless'd;

Let strife and contention and violence end,

And man from his miseries rest.
