-OUR NATION'S CAPITAL - WASHINGTON D.C. Fair city of a Nation's pride Outspread along the river's side, And stretching back o'er hill and plain -- Of thee I sing, a humble strain ! Where once primeval forest stood And savage hunter roamed the wood, Behold what magic man hath wrought With highest skill and noblest thought To build a city that shall stand-- The pride and glory of our land ! Her rounded domes and sculptured walls On which the sunlight softly falls; Her long dim aisles of stately trees, Where fountains cool the summer breeze; Her monuments on every hand Reared to the heroes of our land!-- All these are but the outward part Within which throbe a nation's heart ! -8-
