Great and loved and rev'renced patriot Of unstained and immortal fame, What grateful memories fill our minds At just the mention of thy name! How justly the "Father of his Country," Thou'rt called, thou friend of liberty! Full of dauntless and fearless courage, Unswerving, faithful loyalty. Thou wast one of the few, great Washington, Who dearly loved thy fellow-men. Thou lived and labored, and bravely fought For the freedom we'll never be denied again. As a fair, unblemished and spotless gem, Thy name on earth will ever shine; And true honor, love and reverence, And fame shall evermore be thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SUPPLIANT by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CAPTAIN CARPENTER by JOHN CROWE RANSOM THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 51.
