*. Who's afraid, who's afraid, of a little toil, Study hard, study hard, 'tis but for a while, When the heart's content, the mind is clear, 3. When I play, I will play, like a pleasant boy, 4. Let's away with a cheer, with a glad hurrah! Leave my play-all my play at the school room door, And I will work all the time I'm there, I'll keep each rule, and I'll work with care, Come away, haste away, there's the school bell, hark! I will be the very first one there. 2. Joined heart and hand, a happy band, With music's sound, we gather round,— 3. We shout and sing-and flowers bring— Youth's joyful emblems they The laurel twine with fadeless pine,- 4. From morn till night with love unite, Let peace and joy our hearts employ,'Tis Independence day. 5. Our fathers brave, the land to save, Did Freedom's call obey By young and old, their deeds be told,"Tis Independence day. 6. The brave of heart, bore well their part, Oppression's hand to stayTheir story long shall be our song,"Tis Independence day. 7. Let banners wave, for deeds so brave, 8. Huzza again, another strain, And then for home away, This day was won by WASHINGTON,— |
