Hail, bride and bridegroom of the West! / Your troth irrevocably plighted! / Your act of Union doubly blest, / Your single States United, / With full approval and assent / Of populace and President!
Let Spangled Banners wave on high, / To greet the maiden as she passes! / See how the proud Proconsul's eye / Grows dim behind his glasses! / How fond the heart that beats beneath / Those pleated Presidential teeth!
