 1. 
 
 On! on ! to the just and glorious strife 
 With your Bwords I >m shield 
 
 Nay resign if it mu^t be even life, 
 But die at last unyielding.

 On to the strife, for 'twere far more meet 
 
 To sink with the foes who hay you, 
 Than crouch like doga at Lincoln's f 
 
 And smile on the swords that slay you. 
 3. 
 Shall the Northern hordes be masters then 
 
 Of the land which your fathers gave you? 
 Shall Lincoln's dogs lord it o'er brave men 
 
 When your own good swords may save you? 
 4. 
 No; let them feel that your arms are strong, 
 
 That your courage will mil you nevt r ; 
 Yuu strike to repay long I wrong, 
 
 And bury past -ham.- for* r< r 
 
 Let him h-arn how weak is h tyrant's might 
 Against liberty's Bword contending : 
 
 And find how Southern men <-an fight 
 Their freedom and land defending. 
 
 6. 
 Then on! then on ! to the jjlorious strife 
 
 With your swords your country shielding ; 
 And resign if it must be even life, 
 
 But die at last unyielding, 
 7. 
 Strike ! for the sires who left you free, 
 
 Strike ! for their sakes who bore you ; 
 Strike! for your homes and liberty, 
 
 And the heaven you worship o'er you.
