Signals above the brief command

That sight and sense will understand,—

And open swings the desert land!

A shot! A hundred, thousand more

The grassy meadows echo o'er;

A shout! From countless throats a shout,

On rolling wings leaps madly out;

A yell, a raging roar, that flies

On bounding winds o'er hill and glen,

And 'round the land electrifies
