Katharine Lee Bates - The New Crusade

Katharine Lee Bates - The New Crusade

LIFE is a trifle; br Honor is all; br Shoulder the rifle; br Answer the call. br 'A nation of traders'! br We'll show what we are, br Freedom's crusaders br Who war against war. br Battle is tragic; br Battle shall cease; br Ours is the magic br Mission of Peace. br 'A nation of traders'! br We'll show what we are, br Freedom's crusaders br Who war against war. br Gladly we barter br Gold of our youth br For Liberty's charter br Blood-sealed in truth. br 'A nation of traders'! br We'll show what we are, br Freedom's crusaders br Who war against war. br Sons of the granite, br Strong be our stroke, br Making this planet br Safe for the folk. br 'A nation of traders'! br We'll show what we are, br Freedom's crusaders br Who war against war. br Life is but passion, br Sunshine on dew. br Forward to fashion br The old world anew! br 'A nation of traders'! br We'll show what we are, br Freedom's crusaders br Who war against war.
