WAR-MUSIC


Break off! Dance no more!
Danger is at the door.
Music is in arms.
To signal war's alarms,

Hark, a sudden trumpet calling
Over the hill
Why are you calling, trumpet, calling?
What is your will?

Men, men, men!
Men who are ready to fight
For their country's life, and the right.
Of a liberty-loving land to be
Free, free, free!
Free from a tyrant's chain,
Free from dishonor's stain,
Free to guard and maintain
All that her fathers fought for,
All that her sons have wrought for,
Resolute, brave, and free!

Call again, trumpet, call again,
