Our hearts will ne'er repose Safe from each blast that blows In this dark vale of woes-Never-no,
Where joys celestial thrill, Where bliss each heart shall fill, And fears of part-ing chill, Never-no,
Where kindred spirits dwell, There may our mu-sic swell, And time our joys dispel,
Never-no,
Our hearts will then repose Se-cure from world-ly woes; Our songs of praise shall close Never-no,

They rest from the conflict, their la-bor is ended, Their bat-tles are fought, and their victories gained; Beneath the green sod their bodies are sleep-ing, A-bove them in beauty the dewy grass waves; We know that our flowers will with-er and perish, Our flags, too, will droop in the still sum-mer air; To us is the weeping, while theirs is the glory; From dan-ger and duty they ne'er turned a side;

Shall have triumphant way.
Or quench the so lar star?
Her bounteous gifts shall shower.

Then right shall ov er might prevail, And truth, like Hero armed in mail,
