Came Qlow the shrill bugle, the laud drum awaken, The dead. rifle seize--let the ca.nnon deep roar; Na heart with pale fear, or faint daubtings be shaken, Na slaves hostile foat leave a print on our shore; Shall mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters left weeping, Insulted by ruffians, be dragged to dispair? Oh, na--from the hills the proud eagle acomes swooping, And wave ta the bre.ve the American Star. The spirits af Washington, Warren, Montgomery, Laak down from the clauds,with bright aspect serene; Came soldiers, a tear ann a toast to their memory, Rejoicing they will see us, as they once ha.ve been; Ta us the high boon by the gods has been granted, To spread the glad tidings of liberty fa.ir; Let millions invade us, we will meet them undaunted, And con"uer ar die by the America.n Star.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Come, strike the bold anthem, the war-dogs are howling, Already they eagerly snuff up their prey, The red cloud of war over our forests is scowling, Soft peace spreads her wings, and flies weeping away, The ingants affrighted cling close to their mothers, Thy youths grasp their swords, for the combat prepare, While beduly weeps fathers and lovers and brothers, Who rush to display the American Star. Come blow the shrill bugle, the loud drum awaken, the dead rifle seize-let the cannon deep roar, No heart with pale fear, or faint doubtings be shaken, Now slaves hostile foot leave a print on our shore, Shall mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters left weeping, Insulted by ruffians, be dragged to dispair? Oh, no-from the hills the proud eagle acomes swooping, And wave to the brave the American Star. The spirits of Washington, Warren, Montgomery, Look down from the clouds, with bright aspect serene, Come soldiers, a tear and a toast to their memory, Rejoicing they will see us, as they once have been, To us the high boon by the gods has been granted, To spread the glad tidings of liberty fair, Let millions invade us, we will meet them undaunted, And conquer or die by the American Star. Your hands then, dear comrades, round liberty's alter, United, we swear by the souls of the brave! Not one, from the strong resolution shall falter, To live independent or sink in the grave, The freemen fill up-lo, the striped banners flying, The high birds of liberty scream through the air, Beneath her oppression and tyranny dying, Success to the beaming American Star.

I've traveled this wide world over I've traveled this wide world around; I've ~ad many ups and downs, Throu~L life better days I've saw, But I never knew what misery was ~ill I tame to Arkansas. rTwas in the year of ei?hty-two, In the merry month of June, I landed at Hot Sprin~s One sultry afternoon; There came a walking skeleton And ~ave to me his paw, Invited me to his home one day,1Twas the best in Arkansas. I followed my conductor Irito his owelling place. It was starvation and poverty Pictured on his face. His bread it ~as corn dodgers, His beef I could not chaw; He charg&d me fifty cents a meal In the state of Arkansas. I started back next mornin? t To catch the early trein; He said, "Young man, you!d better work for me. I have some land to drain; rr11 give you fifty cents a day, Your washing and old chaw, Yourll feel quite like a different nan n1en you leave old Arkansas." I worked for the gentleman three weeks, Jess Hatter was his name, Six feet seven inches in his stocking feet, And slim as any crane; His hair hung down like ringlets Bes~de his slackened jaw; He was the photograph of all the gent That was raised in Arkansas. His bread it was corn dodpers, As hard as any rock; It made my teeth begin to loosen, 1zy knees begin to rock; Got so thin on sage and sasafrss tea, I could hide behind a straw-! am sure I was quite like a different man \~en I left old Arkansas. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Let him be a man of honor, Let him be on land or sea, The Squire ' s sons two loving brothers, Came this fair lady for to see. Then went home these loving brothers, Not dreaming of their dismal doom, While she lay lisping on herpillow, Until the morning light should come. And then she called for coach and horses, All ready in attendance be While I ride on to yonder mountains, The roaring lions for to see. She The And She rode on to yonder mountains lions they were fumbling round for the space of one half hour, lay quite senseless on the ground. And when at last she did recover, Into the den she threw her fan, Saying, "Either of you to win a lover Will go and bring my fan again. Then up and spoke the noble captain, Saying, ' Madam, your offer I do refuse, For in that den there is great danger, In there a man his life would lose. 11 Then up and spoke the brave Lieutenant, He raised his voice so loud and high, Saying, "I'm a man, a man of honor, I '1 1 go and bring your fan or die. 11 Down into the den he entered, the lions They were fierce and grim, But he stamped and he stormed, All around and about them, And looked at them as fierce again. He stamped and he stormed all round and bout them, Until the lions grew quite calm, Whm lo! He stooped and fan he gathered, Returning to his love again. And when she sawthat he was coming, And unto him no harm was done, Into his arms she flew a running, For him to enjoy the prize he had won. �! THE SQUIRES SONS - Continued Then up and spoke the noble Captain, He spoke like a man who was troubled in mind, Sa' ing, I' 11 go dovm in some lone valley, And mourn until the day I die." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
