Beneath the hallowed ground where now we tread,

And ocean waves, to celebrate the dead, 
Lift the eternal anthems of the deep. 
And here their mighty spirits linger long: 
They walk abroad through all the hallowed air, 
And where a pulse for freedom beats more strong, 
Know ye that Pilgrim blood is coursing there ! 
O ye, whose sacred dust on Burial-hill, 
Kind mother Earth in holy trust contains ! 
Above the cause ye loved keep watchful still, 
And roll youi fire through all our languid veins! 
Then from New England’s hills, afar and near,

And like a new Aurora shall appear
