Ode for the new year
( Hark! notes melodious fill the skies ; And as the golden car of light ; Columbia heard the high behest ; European kingdoms caught the strain ; What notes are these? How grand, sublime! ; Lo, Asia joins the note of praise ; Hail, favor'd land, the pride of earth! ; Oh, rapid post ye rolling years ; Awake, O Sol, and lead from ether's sphere ; All hail to Freedom's, Virtue's, Glory's Sun! )
