richard mitchley - h. p. lovecraft - ode for july 4th 1917 lyrics

as columbia’s brave scions, in anger array’d
once defy’d a proud monarch and built a new nation;
’gainst their brothers of britain unsheath’d the sharp blade
that hath ne’er met defeat nor endur’d desecration;
so must we in this hour
show our valour and pow’r
and dispel the black perils that over us low’r:
whilst the sons of britannia, no longer our foes
will rejoice in our triumphs and strengthen our blows!

see the banners of liberty float in the breeze
that plays light o’er the regions our fathers defended;
hеar the voice of the million rеsound o’er the leas
as the deeds of the past are proclaim’d and commended;
and in splendour on high
where our flags proudly fly
see the folds we tore down flung again to the sky:
for the emblem of england, in kinship unfurl’d
shall divide with old glory the praise of the world!

bury’d now are the hatreds of subject and king
and the strife that once sunder’d an empire hath vanish’d
with the fame of the saxon the heavens shall ring
as the vultures of darkness are baffled and banish’d;
and the broad british sea
of her enemies free
shall in tribute bow gladly, columbia to thee:
for the friends of the right, in the field side by side
form a fabric of freedom no hand can divide!
