From every lAllct spring armed men,
The cray G'ired and the youth
They sco the 4ir pmes" broken down.

And la.tI 10 the breach
Their arms arfncNrd, their hearts are,
strong.
Their battle tt is holy song,
And llo.Nn MS portals reach
They see thc gound whcrc LyoN died,
Aud the red hood from ELlsworrn's side
And iirmc grows their tread,
Thcy raise llmr eyes to Heaven aud cry
