And is it war at last? So long you

Holding yourself aloof, though un.
afraid!
There was no country, league, nor race

Lest any, unaware of all you cherish
The noble record that your sons

The dream, the vision that shall never

Might think you judged before the

So long you fingered! But you wait no
more;
Beyond all craving, the truth is
clear,
Patience has passed; the hour to

For freedoms sake, as you have struck
May God be with you now, by land,

For honor, justice, faith and liberty!
