Tho' now concealed beneath the earthThey taught me—O! their matchless worth—To love the land that gave me birth— The banners of the brave.
The names of those illustrious ones,Who fought bold Briton's haughty sons,Their blood was spilt, the conquest won, Columbia's sons were free.
Their deathless fame,—that patriot band—In golden letters truth shall standWhile Stars and Stripes sweep sea and land, Our land of liberty.Oregon City, November 16, 1849.
