Rhyme Scheme: A BCDCEFGF HIHIJKJK| Written upon the return of General Scott from his brilliant Mexican campaign | A |
| - | |
| Victorious the hero returns from the wars | B |
| His brow bound with laurels that never will fade | C |
| While streams the free standard of stripes and of stars | D |
| Whose field in the battle the foeman dismayed | C |
| When the Mexican hosts in their fury came on | E |
| Like a tower of strength in his might he arose | F |
| Where danger most threatened his banner was borne | G |
| Waving hope to his friends and despair to his foes | F |
| - | |
| The soldier of honor and liberty hail | H |
| His deeds in the temple of Fame are enrolled | I |
| His precepts like flower seeds sown by the gale | H |
| Take root in the hearts of the valiant and bold | I |
| The warrior's escutcheon his foes seek to blot | J |
| But vain is the effort of partisan bands | K |
| For freemen will render full justice to SCOTT | J |
| And welcome him home with their hearts in their hands | K |
