"The Pilgrim spirit has not fled;
It walks in noon's bright light,
And it watches the bed
Of our glorious dead
With the holy stars by night I
And it watches the bed
Of the brave who have bled,
And shall guard this wide-spread shore
Till the waves of the bay
Where the Mayflower lay
Shall form and rise no more."
