THE MISSISSIPPI.

With mighty rush and flow I sway
For ever on my kingly way,
And sing a new song night and day
Wherever my brown waters stray:

I sing a great land that shall be
The glory of Humanity,
I chant of nations all made free
Under the flag of Liberty:

Old beyond count, yet young am I—
I read the stars that flash on high,
And in their secret signs espy
A great and glorious prophecy.
