The stormy March is coming fast,
hear its trumpet tone
Resembling from the icy bill,
The vale and forest lone;
But, oh love its fury now,
Because it leads the way,
And brings, with noble victory,
The Flag, the Flag of HARRY CLAY.
And bark the shout of millions join
To hail the honored name,
From North and South, from East and West,
From age and youth the same.
No more shall iron tyranny
The land of Freedom sway,
