Excerpt from Lyrics of the Umpqua Lyrics of the Umpqua. To Columbia. Hail to thee, Freedom's great resting-place, Harbor of sweet refuge for men of every race! Thou knowest no color, thou askest not man's creed, And the oppress'd thou ever help'st in need. Descendants of an heroic race now till thy richly soil, And who of that right them ever dare despoil? From every point thy standard high is reared, 'Tis lov'd by thy true sons, and by all despots feared. They fear the example thou hast set to man, For by intelligence he can a document plan Whereby his right to property, liberty and life Can be to him secured, defying autocratic strife. Thy friends in foreign lands respect thy goodly name, Especially in yonder isle from whence the Pilgrims came. So hail to thee, proud child of nation's mother so dear, Thrice hail to thee, fair land, a land without a peer!
