utterance that strikes the spirit dumb	A
As we hear	B
Through the clear	C
And unclouded atmosphere	C
Thy palpitating syllables roll in upon the ear	B
	-
There's a part	D
Of the art	D
Of thy music throbbing heart	D
That thrills a something in us that awakens with a start	D
And in rhyme	E
With the chime	E
And exactitude of time	E
Goes marching on to glory to thy melody sublime	E
	-
And the guest	F
Of the breast	F
That thy rolling robs of rest	F
Is a patriotic spirit as a Continental dressed	F
And he looms	G
From the glooms	G
Of a century of tombs	G
And the blood he spilled at Lexington in living beauty blooms	G
	-
And his eyes	G
Wear the guise	G
Of a purpose pure and wise	G
As the love of them is lifted to a something in the skies	G
That is bright	H
Red and white	H
With a blur of starry light	H
As it laughs in silken ripples to the breezes day and night	H
	-
There are deep	I
Hushes creep	I
O'er the pulses as they leap	I
As thy tumult fainter growing on the silence falls asleep	I
While the prayer	J
Rising there	J
Wills the sea and earth and air	J
As a heritage to Freedom's sons and daughters everywhere	J
	-
Then with sound	K
As profound	K
As the thunderings resound	K
Come thy wild reverberations in a throe that shakes the ground	K
And a cry	L
Flung on high	L
Like the flag it flutters by	L
Wings rapturously upward till it nestles in the sky	L
	-
O the drum	A
There is some	A
Intonation in thy grum	A
Monotony of utterance that strikes the spirit dumb	A
As we hear	B
Through the clear	C
And unclouded atmosphere	C
Thy palpitating syllables roll in upon the ear	B
