Washington in the snow and ice Crossed it to battle more than thrice, Persevered till the roses blent Strewed his path to be President!
River abounding, steady and wide! Beautiful river, be our pride! While like white swans from thy slips, Sail to the ocean thy offspring ships!
Freshen thy cities with thy airs! Freight thy fleets with thy infinite wares! Delaware! River of peace and rest! Cool my heart in thy verdurous breast!

Sail to the ocean thy offspring ships!
Freshen thy cities with thy airs!
Freight thy fleets with thy infinite wares!
