When the rObber and assassin
Stealthily at midnight crept
On each dear and sacred object
That beside us fondly slept,
How we rouse us tn protect them,
Spripging on to their defense

Till we drive the rObber hence

When you heard your country's call,
Rise and In one mig hty accent,
Answer, 1--WE are ready, all"

From the wood, the field, the workship,
