"America’s glory, which dazzled the world
When the toils of our sires had achieved independence,Was brightened when Jackson her banners unfurled
To protect the dear boon for their grateful descendants –When the conquerors of SpainCrossed the boisterous main,Boldly threat’ning to rivet our fetters again;But a happy new year for Columbia begun
When our Jackson secured what our Washington won."
SAMUEL WOODWORTH.
"White-winged Peace, the dove from heaven’s portal,Brought with its olive-branch a song immortal,That filled all hearts with melody supernal,While yet was heard the battle din infernal."
