Text Appearing Before Image:
The Spirit of 76 (Willard) VERSES FOR VARIOUS OCCASIONS THE PATRIOT A heart that is constantly burning, A fervor that never grov^rs cold,A love ever generous and yearning,Are found in the patriots mold. With courage he marches to battle, And enters the dank field of strife; For the sake of his country and honorHe willingly offers his life. In peace, he is ever devoted To the high cause of justice and truth;The fire of his youthful emotion Inspires the less militant youth. Then honor the patriots devotion, And praise him with undying breath; Inspired by his noble example, March onward to victory or death! 21

The Madonna at Prater (Sassof&rrato)22 VERSES FOR VARIOUS OCCASIONS THE QUEEN OE HEAVEN Fairest handmaid of the Lord,Fashioned after Heavens accord,Meeker than the snow-white dove.Brimming oer with Gods pure love! Would I were a song-bird freeCaroling in ecstasy,I should hymn a fitting layTo the spotless Queen of May. Every note that I should singWould to thee great pleasance bring,And twould touch with magic artThe nerve-strings of the Sacred Heart. When I leave this vale of tearsFraught with discontent and fears,Virgin fair, be thou my guide.Lead me to the Saviours side. 23
