For home for country now
Are pledged the solemn vow,
Our fortunes, honor, life, and all that we hold dear!
Thus to his loved one did each hero say,
When home returned at eve of this immortal day.
And she replied:
Well, since it must be so,
With you we sympathize in weal or woe,
Assert your country’s cause with noble pride;
Arm, arm, advance and boldly meet the foe!
