WASHINGTON S BIRTHDAY
Tis splendid to live so-grandly
That, long after you are gone.
The things ypu did are^reineinbered>
And reeoupted under, the sun;
To live sq bravely an4 purely
That;a. nation stops, on its way,
And^puce a year, jyith, banner and
drupi,
Keeps its thought* oT ypur natal
day*.
Tis'.splendid to,have a record’
So whitevnnd. free, from stain
That, held- to, the light, it shows no

Afid. your birthday lives in a nation’s
heart,
All other ,days above
And., this; is Washington’s glory,
A steadfast, sgul a#ai;true.

When, his gouptry’s days were few.
And now, when its days are many,
And. its dag. Qf stars is ilnng
To the breeze in defiant challenge,
His name is on every tongue.
Yes, it's splendid tp liye ^o bravely,
To be.so gr.e»t. »nd /strong,
That your m*u\ory is ever a tocsin
To rally the rfoes of. wrong;
To live sor proudly and purely
That your people pause in then
way, ,
And year by. year, with banner and
drum,.
Keep the thought of your natal day.
