Creep down from the mountain crest.
Covering up ihe rainbow radiance
From the sun lov in The west.
Iark What blast comes from the dis
tance3
'Tis the numbering lannon's roar,
Echoing DER far mountain ridges
That the Boches are ne more
That their very homes are shattered.
And their lots filled with their dead
That the blow they struck at Freedom
Soon towards their destruction led.
Far above them scars the Eagle,
Meath the field of Stars and blue,
And beneath him Freedom cOnquers
In blood stripes of brilliant hue
Through The din and cry Of battle,
Through the bursting shrapnel's roar,
Comes the cry Justice and Freedom,
We want Justice, nothing more
