All hail unto our natal day
All hail unto our Sirts,

And kinuled freedoms fires.

AS down times hill they came,
Who kept a-light those beacuns
Aid crowned their names with fame.

We hear once more that legend
That told TO the sons Of men,
How never more on SCI, or shore
Would we bow to the crown again.

Away from the dim. de I'd past,
The highty deeds of those heroes
Who stood by their flag to III. last,

We read OF the strike and struggle
We know Of the doubts and fears
mat threatened the Chill Il public
Through the gloom OF its carly wears.
