LA EXPOSICION.
NEW ORLEANS.
The banners! The bells! The red banners!
The rainbows of banners! The chimes!
The music of stars! The sweet manners
Of peace in old pastoral times!
The rainbows of banners! The chimes!
The music of stars! The sweet manners
Of peace in old pastoral times!
The coming of nations! Kings bringing
Rich gifts to Republics! The trees
Of paradise, and birds singing
By the side of De Soto's swift seas!
Rich gifts to Republics! The trees
Of paradise, and birds singing
By the side of De Soto's swift seas!
