Look unto us. ye millions
At war across the sea,
Who fight beside our klnsmen
For home and liberty.
"A message we are sending
That unseen helpers come.
To those our shores defending:
They bear no fife and drum.
But silently are creeping
From cover of the Garth,
when springtime wakes from sleeping
our army will have birth.
The snow in white flakes falling
Gives promise OF good cheer.
'Tls like to comrades calling,
Have stout hearts! cast out fear''
With bright green swords well arm YOU

Wen reap the harvest sown.
