France! France! what fitting tribute may we
bring
That would not a pitiful poor thing
Against your spendor and your agonies-
You who withstood the strength Of iron seas
A rock Wherefrom Gods beacon still shall fling
The light that brings world from ship wreck

Seeing by you it steers it's argosies!
France! France! there are no words to make

There is no song wherewith to honor you;
But note by note through many centuries
Shall rise the perfect tribute clear and strong,
Giving your fame at last the singing due.
We cannot name you save upon our knees.
