FIFES AND DRUMS
75
Sadly, sternly, we unsheathe it,
Now for Liberty.
Hands around the world, brothers!
Hands around the world!
Fling the married colors out,
Never to be furled;
Till the power of Light prevailing,
Vict'ry's heights in triumph scaling,
Sees the power of Darkness, failing,
Down in ruin hurled.
Laura E. Richards.
