A hundred years and more ago <br />A little child was born -- <br />To-day, with pomp of martial show, <br />We hail his natal morn. <br /> <br />Who guessed as that poor infant wept <br />Upon a woman's knee, <br />A nation from the centuries stept <br />As weak and frail as he? <br /> <br />Who saw the future on his brow <br />Upon that happy morn? <br />We are a mighty nation now <br />Because that child was born. <br /> <br />To him, and to his spirit's scope, <br />Besides a glorious home, <br />We owe that what we have and hope <br />Are more than Greece and Rome.<br /><br />Henry Timrod<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-composed-for-washington-s-birthday-and-respectfully-inscribed-to-the-officers-and-members-of-the-washington-light-infantry-of-charleston-february-22-1859/
