No treason we bring from Erln-nor
bring we shame nos guilt
The sword we hold may be broken,
but we have not dropped the hlltl
The wreath we hear to Columbia is
twisted of thorns, not bays;
And the songs we sing are saddened
by thoughts Of desolate days.
But the hearts we bring for Freedom
are washed in the surge Of tears;
And we claim our right by a Peoples
fight OUTLYING a thousand years!
What bring we else to the Build
ing?'' 20, willing hands to toll,
Strong natures tuned to the harvest
song, and bound to the kindly soil;
Bold pioneers for the wilderness,
defenders in the field
The sons Of a race of soldiers who
never learned to yield.
Young hearts with duty brimming-
as faith makes sweet the due;
Their truth to me their witness they
cannot be false to YOU"
But we will die for the stars and
stripes and protect our Hyphen
Heads against any foreign foe.
