THE VOICE OF FREEDOM CALLS.

Across Atlantic's wide and rolling
blue,
Toward the smoke of Europe's battle
plain,
And for our friends of France and
England who
Avenge their wrongs and Belgium's
guiltless slain,
The voice of Freedom calls; bark!
strong and deep.
1t echoes through our land in loud
refrain
my country, up! my sons, thy name
in duty keep!
And wave Old Glory where the winds
of Honor sweep
Autocracy's tyranic force in arms,
Has dared with all its base-born
love for power,
To mock at civilizations plea:
broad farms.
Have been laid waste; and cities
burned the tower
OF many a church and old cathedral
spire
Has been inglorious wrecked; and
hour by hour,
With blood they strive to quench
bright Freedoms holy fire!
Say, is it dying? No-that fame is
burning higher
-.s...ss ls.s ;:;a.s'.
BY command of imperial Kaiser Bill,
His armies smothered Belgium's
helpless cry;
They murdered women! children!
at their will
The blessed name of Justice they
defy!
In scorn they needed not our warn
ing grave.
With allies meath the slavish
Austrian sky,
Their Vice-stained banner low at
Liberty they wave! .----. .-- ..-. ...
And cry in savage tones "We'll over
come the brave!'
o Patriotism! l see thy spirit rise!
The same that swept across New
England young
The same that rose unto the starry
skies,
And pulled the rope when Freedom S
bell was rung!
mo other flag shall e'er wave DER
the Free!
Shall rise from every patriotic ton
que;
And Duty's voice now rolls above us:
Loyalty To home-thy country s
fiag-to God and Liberty
