LIBERTY TREE. 
BY ROBERT TREAT PAINE. 
Iu a chariot of light from the regions of day, 
The Goddess of Liberty came; 
Ten thousand celestials directed the 'way, 
And hither conducted the dame. 
A fair budding branch from the garden above, 
Where millions with millions agree, 
She brought in her hand, as a pledge of her love, 
And the plant she named Liberty Tree. 
The celestial exotic struck deep in the ground, 
Like a native it flourished and bore; 
The fame of its fruit drew the nations around, 
To seek out this peaceable shore. 
Unmindful of names or distinctions they came, 
For freemen like brothers agree ; 
With one spirit endued, they one friendship pursued, 
And their temple was Liberty Tree. 
Beneath this fair tree, like the patriots of old, 
Their bread in contentment they ate; 
Unvexed with the troubles of silver and gold, 
The cares of the grand and the great. 
With timber and tar they old England supplied, 
And supported her power on the sea; 
Her battle they fought, without getting a groat. 
For the honor of Liberty Tree.
