WASHINGTON by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: FIRST OF OUR GREAT, WE BRING
Last Line: OUR DEBT FOR YOUR GREAT WORTHINESS.
Subject(s): FEBRUARY; PRESIDENTS, UNITED STATES; WASHINGTON, GEORGE (1732-1799);

FIRST of our great, we bring
New tributes to your name, and sing
Songs of remembrance on your day;
Years cannot ever wear away
Our thanks to you, nor render less
Our debt for your great worthiness.
