lis our keynote Of triumph, the voice Of our will
Sad harp on the willows, awake to the strain,
The NsrfAsrr lutte tsss-oh, be joyful again.
Strike the tabor Of peace, rough Northern mudsill
The reed in the tempest IL unbroken still,
unit we tesi; shut the cannon's big mouth,
And breathe back the homage you to the South.
Your honse yos divide, its high massive wall
Is crsaking and swayins just ready to fail
Strike the tabor Of meath its ruins stand under
Twill smash up your factions In twinkle BY thupds
Cfy the dear Constitution till triumph = born
When we'll tread 1t to dust In highway Of seorn

Every vestige We isathe in the old UIion TIN
We own you aae brave, yet brsvsr are ne,
From kings h our birthright Tar over thesea;
Not drop of the Puritan flows in our yein-
Blood and deed we eschew Of that Assiifti train.
Strike the tabor Of psses pull down Uncle ssm.
Call Abe and the war for the Union . shaml
Burn the Stripes and the Stars and sound It vorIdid
That nation was sArsd when its liberty died,
