Who say we cherish far-off feud,
Still nurse the ancient grudges?
Show me the title of this brood
OF self-appolnted judges;
Their name, their race, their nation,
clan,
And We will teach them whether
We do not, as none other can,
Feel, think aud work together
Both speak the tongue that Milton
spoke,
Shakespeare and Chatham welded,
Aud Washington and all his folk
When their Just claim was yielded.
In II both lisp, both learn. both pray
Dirge death, and thus the tcther
Grows tighter, tcndcrer, every day
That binds the two together.
our ways are one, and one our aim,
And one will be- our story,
Who light for Freedom, not for fame,
From Duty, not for glory;
Both stoca Of the old Home, where
blow
Shamrock, ana rose, and heather,
Aud every year link arms and 30
Through its loved haunts together.
Should cnvlous aliens plan and plot
'Gninst one, and now the other,
They swift would learn how strong the
knot
Binds brother unto brother.
How quick they would change their
tack.
And show the recreant feather
Should Star-and Stripe and Union Jack
Both float mast-high together.
Now let us give one hearty grip,
AS by true men is given,
And vow fratenal fellowship
That never shall he rven;
And with our peaceful flags unfurled,
be fair or foul the weather,
should need arise, face all the worlo
And stand or fall together.
