    Hail! didst thou toil the journey bright
    In vain, or didst thy people heed?
    And follow where thy battle call
    Proclaimeth freedom or to fall.

    IV
    March on! methinks I hear thee still
    Repeat the anthem and again
    Thy hordes are steering up the hill
    In steady order from the plain
    V
    Yet in the midst of thy heart is seen
    To break for all that might have been
    Thy heart is seen to bleed and thou
    Upon the heights of death doth soar
    VI
    And like thy sires thy body now
    Doth tenant earth for evermore
    While on thy country's every crag
    Floats high the likeness of thy flag
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
