A Democratic Hymn.

By Eugene Field

Topics: classic

Republicans of differing views     Are pro or con protection;     If that's the issue they would choose,     Why, we have no objection.     The issue we propose concerns     Our hearts and homes more nearly:     A wife to whom the nation turns     And venerates so dearly.     So, confident of what shall be,     Our gallant host advances,     Giving three cheers for Grover C.     And three times three for Frances!     So gentle is that honored dame,     And fair beyond all telling,     The very mention of her name     Sets every breast to swelling.     She wears no mortal crown of gold--     No courtiers fawn around her--     But with their love young hearts and old     In loyalty have crowned her--     And so with Grover and his bride     We're proud to take our chances,     And it's three times three for the twain give we--     But particularly for Frances!
