Washington's Birthday


Book Description

Washington's Birthday is a collection of poems on the American Holiday commonly known as Washington's Birthday or Presidents' Day by various authors. Excerpt: "Welcome, thou festal morn! Never be passed in scorn Thy rising sun, Thou day forever bright With Freedom's holy light, That gave the world the sight Of Washington. Unshaken 'mid the storm, Behold that noble form— That peerless one— With his protecting hand, Like Freedom's angel stand The guardian of our land, Our Washington."
