To guard their dust and speak their praise;

Ye, who, should some other band

With hostile foot defile the land,

Feel that ye like them would wake,

Like them the yoke of bondage break,

Nor leave a battle-blade undrawn,

Though every hill a sepulchre should yawn—

Say, have not ye one line for those,

One brother-line to spare,

Who rose but as your Fathers rose,
