Here’s a short quiz, for fun: For each of the following, name the modern-day green-book hymn whose tune was originally associated with these lyrics. <\/p>\n
1. To Anacreon in Heav’n, where he sat in full glee,
\na few Sons of Harmony sent a petition,
\nThat he their Inspirer and Patron would be;
\nWhen this answer arrived from the Jolly Old Grecian<\/p>\n
2. How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood
\nWhen fond recollection presents them to view
\nThe orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood,
\nAnd ev’ry loved spot which my infancy knew
\n. . .
\nAnd e’en the rude bucket that hung in the well.
\nThe old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket,
\nThe moss covered bucket that hung in the well.<\/p>\n
3. O Columbia! the gem of the ocean,
\nThe home of the brave and the free,
\nThe shrine of each patriot’s devotion,
\nA world offers homage to thee;<\/p>\n
4. O sacred Head, now wounded,
\nwith grief and shame weighed down,
\nnow scornfully surrounded
\nwith thorns, thine only crown: <\/p>\n
5. A life on the ocean wave!
\nA home on the rolling deep!
\nWhere the scattered waters rave,
\nand the winds their revels keep!<\/p>\n
