text:  May never War awake this bell To sound the tocsin or the knell! Hush'd be the alarum gun! Sheath'd be the sword! and may his voice Call up the nations to rejoice That War his tatter'd flag has furl'd And vanish'd from a wiser world! _Hurra! the work is done_! Still may he ring when struggles cease Still may he ring for joy's increase For progress in the arts of peace And friendly trophies won! When rival nations join their hands When plenty crowns the happy lands When knowledge gives new blessings birth And freedom reigns o'er all the earth! _Hurra! the work is done_! * * * * * AMMALAT BEK
