To the field! to the field! where our comrades now stand,
For the cause of the Union, the life of our land!
Where the sons of the North for their liberties fight,
And the men of all nations combine for the right;
Where the children of Erin with Britons conjoin,
And the Gaul and the German press loin unto loin;
And the men of Italia and Hungary true
Are surrounding the Flag of the Red, White and Blue!
CHORUS.
To the field! to the field! let no freeman delay!
