 | The Repeal of the Missouri Compromise |  |
And why this wild and daring deed
For which our land must surely bleed?
Why is the landmark now removed,
The landmark which the sires approved?
Why are the fathers' works erased,
Their early monuments defaced?
Why is their wisdom cast aside
Which thirty years have sanctified?
For which our land must surely bleed?
Why is the landmark now removed,
The landmark which the sires approved?
Why are the fathers' works erased,
Their early monuments defaced?
Why is their wisdom cast aside
Which thirty years have sanctified?
