Unafraid as her eagle,—as true to the line;

Sing of our Country,—your Country and mine!

Dear Land, thou to tyranny never wilt bow;

Ever with thee the oppressed have had haven;

While Freedom droops, thy true sons are not craven;

Look! They are fighting to honor thee now,

With Victory and Peace to bejewel thy brow.

"Avenge ye the slaughtered!" Heed ye her decree;

Ye who have reaped of the father's brave sowing,

High hold your flag when the war winds are blowing!

Safe for all men keep the path of the sea;

Secure in their rights help small Nations to be.

Liberty, Justice, and Truth—the divine,—

Carrying onward,—her lamp proudly burning—

Craving no empire, intrigue ever spurning,

Over the Earth shall her beacon-light shine!

Fight for our Country, your Country and mine!
