| Thou to whom its fires are given | A |
| Joyously thy car hath roll'd | B |
| Where the conqueror's pass'd of old | B |
| And the festal sun that shone | C |
| O'er three hundred triumphs gone | D |
| Makes thy day of glory bright | E |
| With a shower of golden light | E |
| - | |
| Now thou tread'st th' ascending road | F |
| Freedom's foot so proudly trode | F |
| While from tombs of heroes borne | G |
| From the dust of empire shorn | G |
| Flowers upon thy graceful head | F |
| Chaplets of all hues are shed | F |
| In a soft and rosy rain | H |
| Touch'd with many a gem like stain | H |
| - | |
| Thou hast gain'd the summit now | I |
| Music hails thee from below | J |
| Music whose rich notes might stir | K |
| Ashes of the sepulchre | K |
| Shaking with victorious notes | L |
| All the bright air as it floats | L |
| Well may woman's heart beat high | M |
| Unto that proud harmony | N |
| - | |
| Now afar it rolls it dies | O |
| And thy voice is heard to rise | O |
| With a low and lovely tone | C |
| In its thrilling power alone | C |
| And thy lyre's deep silvery string | P |
| Touched as by a breeze's wing | P |
| Murmurs tremblingly at first | F |
| Ere the tide of rapture burst | F |
| - | |
| All the spirit of thy sky | M |
| Now hath lit thy large dark eye | M |
| And thy cheek a flush hath caught | F |
| From the joy of kindled thought | F |
| And the burning words of song | Q |
| From thy lip flow fast and strong | Q |
| With a rushing stream's delight | F |
| In the freedom of its might | F |
| - | |
| Radiant daughter of the sun | A |
| Now thy living wreath is won | A |
| Crown'd of Rome Oh art thou not | F |
| Happy in that glorious lot | F |
| Happier happier far than thou | I |
| With the laurel on thy brow | I |
| She that makes the humblest hearth | R |
| Lovely but to one on earth | S |
