THE BIRTH OF THE NATION
The First English Church in America.
'Tis just three hundred years ago
  We sailed through unknown Narrows
And landed on an unknown coast
  Amid a flight of arrows.
We planted England's standard there,
  And taught the Western savage.
In its defence we lightly held
  His tomahawk and ravage.
And there, between two forest trees,
  We raised our first rude altar;
Roofed by a storm-rent sail we read
  Old England's Prayers and Psalter,
An echo in the strange, new land
  Awoke to slumber never:
It caught old England's battle-word—
  "God and my Right" forever!
