There is a land, of every land the pride, 

 Beloved by Heaven, o'er all the world beside ; 

 And in that land of Heaven's peculiar grace, 

 The heritage of nature's noblest race, 

 There is a Spot of earth supremely blessed, 

 A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. 

 Where may that Land, tJiat Spot of earth be found ? 

 Art thou a Man ? a Patriot ? look around — 

 O thou shalt find, howe'er thy footsteps roam. 

 That land Thy COUNTRY, and that Spot Thy Home ! 



Montgomery.
