A

NEW NATIONAL SONG,

COMPOSED AND SUNG BY

MR. DIXON,

AT WASHINGTon parade ground, before 120,000 PERSONS ON THE 25TH NOVEMBER, 1830.

I.

Hurrah for France! 'tis joy to see,
Far in the mighty dawn,

The genius of old Liberty

With all her armour on.
The glory of her spear has cast

The tyrants' might away:

Sound loud your trumpets to the blast-
Hurrah for France, Hurrah!

II.

Hurrah for France! for she has woke
From out her dream at length;
The wine cup and the lute are broke,
All godlike in her strength.

Erect she stands, while round her brow
Bright hopes of Freedom play,

Exulting she is harnessed now

Hurrah for France, Hurrah!
