Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary, Behold their tears and hear their cries. Shall hateful tyrants, mischiefs breeding, With hireling host a ruffian band Affright and disolate the land, While peace and liberty lie bleeding? To arms, to arms! ye brave! The avenging sword unsheath: March on, march on, all hearts resolved, On victory or death. Now, now, the dangerous storm is rolling, Which treacherous kings confederate raise The dogs of war, let loose are howling, And lo! our fields and cities blaze. And shall we basely view the ruin, While lawless force with guilty stride Spreads desolation far and wide, With crimes and blood his hands embracing? Chorus- With lunary and pride surrounded, The vile insatiate dispots dare Their thirst of power and glod unbounded, To mete and vend the light and air.
