"Oh! hold it holy-it will prove a bond

Of love and brotherhood, when all beside
Hath been dissolved-and tho' wide ocean roll
Between the children of one fatherland,
This shall be their communion-they shall send
Linked in one sacred feeling-at one hour,

In the same language-the same prayer to Heaven,
And each resembling each in piety,

Pray for the other's welfare."
