You cheered your heroes who went

The young, the strong, the beautiful

Nought was too good for them-you

They asked for-banners waving on

They asked for nothing but the chance

And prove by valorous deeds their

They went like knights of old to wipe

To scotch the snake appearing at

To tree the oppressed and stem the
