Freedom's Home

O freedom's home! thy banner streams, A meteor on the gale; And I behold the haughty flags Of Europe fade and pale. And, crowding on the surging sea, They cleave the billows bright; They come to rest beneath its folds, Attracted by its light.

O freedom's home! forevermore We'll join our hearts and hands, To make thee bright with peaceful wealth, The gem of richest strands: But, if a tyrant e'er should threat, This Eden of the free, Dear home of freedom, we will bleed, And yield our life for thee.
