THY DAYS ARE DONE.
I.Thy days are done, thy fame begun;Thy country's strains recordThe triumphs of her chosen Son,The slaughters of his sword!The deeds he did, the fields he won,The freedom he restored!
II.Though thou art fall'n, while we are freeThou shalt not taste of death!The generous blood that flowed from theeDisdain'd to sink beneath:Within our veins its currents be,Thy spirit on our breath!
