Ay, call it holy ground,

They have left unstained what there they found —
Freedom to whorship God.

Additional quotes by Felicia Hemans

The flames roll'd on-he would not go
Without his father's word;
That father, faint in death below,
His voice no longer heard.

Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north-wind’s breath,
And stars to set; but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!

The breaking waves dashed high
On a stern and rock-bound coast,
And the woods against a stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed.

Ay, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod; They have left unstained what there they found — Freedom to whorship God. - Felicia Hemans
