Another year ! –another deadly blow !
Another mighty empire overthrown !
And We are left, or shall be left alone ;
The last that dare to struggle with the Foe.
‘Tis well ! from this day forward we shall know
That in ourselves our safety must be sought ;
That by our own right hand it must be wrought,
That we must stand unpropped, or be laid low
O Dastard whom such foretaste doth not cheer !
We shall exult, if They who rule the land
Be Men who hold its many blessings dear,
Wise, upright, valiant ; not a servile Band,
Who are to judge of danger which they fear,
And honour which they do not understand.
–William Wordsworth

CONNECTICUT

On every stream, from mountain flowing,

See the little village growing,

Painted school-house, churches steeple,

Speak a wise and moral people ;

Grist Mills, –Shops for manufacture,

Raise their voices, clitter, clatter ;

Bustle, bustle, all commotion,

Wooden clocks and yankee notions.

–from THE MUSICAL GEOGRAPHY by Miss Sarah M. Lyon, Young & Hartt, 1848
