AWAKE WISCONSIN.
TUNE. Marseillaise)
WiscOnsin's sons, awake to duty
Your sacred honor is assailed
Your country's flag of grace and beauty
BY traitor hands in dust is trailed,
By traitor hands in dust is trailed.
The blood of patriot sires is calling
To vengeance on their traitor headsl
Awakel and leave your craven beds
Lest on US all the curse be falling.
Leo. G. Schussman
