From the Shannon, from the Scheldt,
From the ancient homes of genius,
From the sainted home of Celt,
From Italy, from Hungary,
All as brothers join and come,
To the sinew-bearing bugle
And the foot-propelling drum:
Too glad beneath the starry flag to die, and keep secure
The Liberty they dreamed of by the Danube, Elbe, and Suir.'
Let us at least prove ourselves worthy of the century in which we live,
and show the astonished world how a free people honors, guards, cares
for, and shelters its suffering heroes.
