The union of lakes, the union of lands,
The union of States none can sever,
The union of hearts, the union of hands,
And the flag of our Union forever!

More quotes by George Pope Morris

Near the lake where drooped the willow,
Long time ago!

In teaching me the way to live
It taught me how to die.

Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me,
And I 'll protect it now.

A song for our banner! The watchword recall
Which gave the Republic her station:
"United we stand, divided we fall!"
It made and preserves us a nation!

They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts.
