♦ Such was our wont, our passion, and our dream. a
a Still love we all, sprung from the common womb; a
a We keep our dream, hut never could we stand a
a In craven sorrowing by Freedom’s tomb! a
♦ a
a And so, near Faster time, when lilies white a
♦ Opened their fronds to take the morning sun. a
e Our blood went hot we sensed a stalking Death e
♦ Along the living roods our fathers won. e
♦ a
a But 'twas not this that roused us, nor the loss a
a Of lives and ships, though these were quite enough— a
a We saw the mauling of our brothers’ right a
a By hands unroyal, merciless sntl rough. a
