washington's hair.
But o'er this hair a halo glows,
Which a whole country's love bestows.
Affection loves the meanest thing,
Because affection's offering.
Love dares to give what has no worth,
Save from the heart that sent it forth;
But most desires the humble lot
To give what makes itself forgot.
Which a whole country's love bestows.
Affection loves the meanest thing,
Because affection's offering.
Love dares to give what has no worth,
Save from the heart that sent it forth;
But most desires the humble lot
To give what makes itself forgot.
