Poem On The Battle Of New Orleans

America's glory, which dazzled the world

When the toils of our sires had achieved independence,

Was brightened when Jackson her banners unfurled

To protect the dear boon for their grateful descendants–

When the conquerors of Spain

Crossed the boisterous main,

Boldly threat'ning to rivet our fetters again;

But a happy new year for Columbia begun

When our Jackson secured what our Washington won.
