In Coventry, Connecticut was born
A hero and a patriot, a man
Regardless of the colors he had worn
He showed his worth as only heroes can
We know his name and how he gave his all
A hero when America began
He felt the Revolution’s righteous call
A martyr for a cause, but first, a man
A man who always gave his very best
A man who grew up from a precious boy
His mother knew that she was very blessed
And his successes always brought her joy
A scholar of the classics while at Yale
We know his name; his name was Nathan Hale
