Our workshops and our farms we yield,
Our plowshares in the half-plowed field;
Our horses at the fence we tie,
And gird the sword upon the thigh,
And haste to meet the foe in strife,
And battle for the Nation’s life.”
Thus loyal men, on every side,
Sprang forth all o’er our nation wide,
And offered up their lives, their all,
As incense at their country’s call.
