Capitol Freedom

The dome rises above D.C.
tonight,
shining in its free liberty reign,
Columns of ivory,
lift the justice towards the
heavens,
above the country,
into the flag,
And as the city flickers in a silver
mist,
a steady glow can be seen from the
hill,
a nation so bright in its glory,
so strong in its pride,
We the people,
America,
sleep in her life.
