AMERICA AND ENGLAND.
Step out! Right faces forward, “at the double!”Strike up the “Band of Hope,” unfurl the “old rag”
Of Freedom, let the Nations never lag.
Clear heads, high hearts, strong hands! As fire in stubble;
Or as the wave of Progress bears the bubble,
Forward! beneath that grand star-spangled flag,
With star on star quick rising; without brag
Or vaunt, through sweat and toil and Human trouble!
On! noble army of toilers in the van
Of Human Brotherhood; we well abreast
Of ye will keep, and back ye man to man;
We “noble English” all, both most and least!
Not “few,” as we at Agincourt began,
But all, from sea to sea, North, South, East, West!
