by Unknown

And night and morn our song shall be,

“O give us Death—or Victory!”

V.

When, with French blood our fields manured,

The glorious struggle’s ended,

We’ll sing the dangers we’ve endured,

The blessings we’ve defended:

O’er the full bowl our feats we’ll tell,

Each gallant deed reciting;

And weep o’er those who nobly fell
