Explore "Liberty. New Castle, July 4, 1878" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
For a hundred years the pulse of time / Has throbbed for Liberty; / For a hundred years the grand old clime / Columbia has been free; / For a hundred years our country's love, / The Stars and Stripes, has waved above.
Away far out on the gulf of years -- / Misty and faint and white / Through the fogs of wrong -- a sail appears, / And the Mayflower heaves in sight, / And drifts again, with its little flock / Of a hundred souls, on Plymouth Rock.
