"And sing the praise of Fredom long/This Western World, on California's Coast,/Has heard our Eagle scream, and seen his host;/On Monteray our banners freely wav,/While Palo Alto numbers many a grave,/Of thos ho follwed Taylor to the fight,/Determined to uphold our country's right./ Glance o'er that bolody strif -- brave me and true,/ Have fallen in the conflict, from our view;/ Yet, there we see the Stars and Stripes remain,/ In beuaty floating, o'er the battle-slain. .
