• Independence Bell - July 4, 1776 (ego4u.com)
  "... How they shouted! What rejoicing!
  How the old bell shook the air,
  Till the clang of freedom ruffled,
  The calmly gliding Delaware!
  How the bonfires and the torches
  Lighted up the night's repose,
  And from the flames, like fabled Phoenix,
  Our glorious liberty arose!..."
