When with gigantic hand he placed	A
For throne on vassal Europe based	A
That column's lofty height	B
Pillar in whose dread majesty	C
In double immortality	C
Glory and bronze unite	B
	-
Ay when he built it that some day	D
Discord or war their course might stay	D
Or here might break their car	E
And in our streets to put to shame	F
Pygmies that bear the hero's name	F
Of Greek and Roman war	G
	-
It was a glorious sight The world	H
His hosts had trod with flags unfurled	H
In veteran array	D
Kings fled before him forced to yield	I
He conqueror on each battle field	I
Their cannon bore away	D
	-
Then with his victors back he came	F
All France with booty teemed her name	F
Was writ on sculptured stone	J
And Paris cried with joy as when	K
The parent bird comes home again	K
To th' eaglets left alone	J
	-
Into the furnace flame so fast	L
Were heaps of war won metal cast	L
The future monument	M
His thought had formed the giant mould	N
And piles of brass in the fire he rolled	N
From hostile cannon rent	O
	-
When to the battle field he came	F
He grasped the guns spite tongues of flame	F
And bore the spoil away	D
This bronze to France's Rome he brought	P
And to the founder said 'Is aught	P
Wanting for our array '	-
	-
And when beneath a radiant sun	Q
That man his noble purpose done	Q
With calm and tranquil mien	R
Disclosed to view this glorious fane	S
And did with peaceful hand contain	S
The warlike eagle's sheen	R
	-
Round thee when hundred thousands placed	P
As some great Roman's triumph graced	P
The little Romans all	T
We boys hung on the procession's flanks	U
Seeking some father in thy ranks	U
And loud thy praise did call	T
	-
Who that survey'd thee when that day	P
Thou deemed that future glory ray	P
Would here be ever bright	P
Feared that ere long all France thy grave	V
From pettifoggers vain would crave	V
Beneath that column's height	P
