Of any fight the world knew not

How great the perils often grew--

God only knew.

Within my deepest soul-depths torn,

In hands and feet wounds bleeding borne,

Trodden beneath the chargers' tread,

How I endured, felt, suffered, bled,

How wept and groaned I in my woe,

When scoffed the malice-breathing foe,

How pierced his scorn my spirit through,
