How sad the fate OF our loved state,
Dear Diamond state Of Delaware
Ii rum shall rule and legislate
Within the halls Of Delaware.
We know you love this commonwealth
And would not yield her rights for pelf;
But stand for truth, instead OF self,
Lone hearted men Of Delaware.
TIE time has come when eacn must stand
Firm as a rock in Delaware
To drive this monster from our land,
And free our fettered Delaware
You must not one iota yield,
For IL you de the fate is sealed;
fthose you love, aud seek TO shield,
From blight Of ruin in Delaware.
The havoc wrought by this great course,
In hearts, and homes, in Delaware;
Surely perditiou can't be worse
Than now injured in Delaware
The many slain year after year
Make brave hearts thro0 and quake with
fear;
But who's responsible, now is clear
To every mind in Delaware.
We long have prayed and tried to work
For temperance in Delaware;
To bravely go and never shrink
Where duty called in Delaware.
Tho we can only work and pray
But you can vote this curse away;
We know you Will, election day
And freedom bring to Delaware
