Sail On, O Ship of State!

4. Sail on, sail on, O Ship of State! Sail on, sail on!

Sail on, O Union strong and great, Sail on, sail on!
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea, Our heart, Our hopes, are all with thee
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are all with thee,— Are all with thee! Sail on, sail on!

The Poor Voter on Election Day

John Greenleaf Whittier. German Air.

Maestoso.

1.The proudest now is but my peer, The highest not more high;
. . . . . The highest not more high; Today of all the weary year, A king of men am I.
Today, alike are great and small, The nameless and the known;
My palace is the people's hall, The ballot-box my throne!
