Excerpt from The Birthdays of Washington and Lincoln: Colorado Anniversary NumberHear the tale of youthful glory While of Britain's rescued band Friend and foe repeat the story, Spread his fame o'er sea and land. Where the red cross, proudly streaming, Flaps above the frigate's deck, Where the golden lilies gleaming Star the watchtower of Quebec.Look! The shadow on the dial Marks the hour of deadlier strife, Days of terror, years of trial, Scourge a nation into life. Lo, the youth became the leader! All her baf¿ed tyrants yield! Through his arm the Lord has freed Crown-him on the tented field.Vain is empire's mad temptation Not for him an earthly crown, He whose sword hath freed a nation Strikes the offered scepter down.See the throneless conqueror seated, Ruler by a people's choice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
