RALLYING SONG.
The war drums are beating;
Prepare for the fight!
The people are gathering
In strength and in might;
Fling out your broad banner
Against the blue sky
With Lincoln and Hamlin
We’ll conquer or die.
The clarion is sounding,
From inland to shore;
Your sword and your lances
Must slumber no more;
The slave-driving minions,
See, see, how they fly!
With Lincoln and Hamlin
We’ll conquer or die.
