Comes a cry from Cuban water

"Corporal Green!" the orderly cried
"Cut the cables!" the order read
Dark as the clouds of even

Dearest love, do you remember

Death came out of the black night's deep
Don't you hear the tramp of soldiers?
Dost thou hear, Columbia, O my mother.
Eight volunteers! on an errand of death!
Farragut, Farragut

Fierce flock of sea gulls, with huge wings of white
From Cuban shores in ceaseless pain

From shuddering trees the painted leaves

From the Rio Grande's waters to the icy lakes, etc.
Give the speedway to the cruiser

Hark! I hear the tramp of thousands
Hark! the rattling roar of the musketeers
Hats off!

Haul in der plank, full speed ahead.

Have you heard the story that gossips tell
Help us to win, O Lord, on sea and land.
He never has talked of the war-time and battle
He took a thousand islands and he didn't lose, etc.
High on the world did our fathers of old
Hurrah! boys, hurrah! fling our banner to the, etc.

I hear the sound at midnight of the tramp of, etc.

I lay me down to sleep

In a glittering glory of diamond dew

In battle-line of sombre gray.

In slumber as the morning broke

In their ragged regimentals

In the prison cell I sit

Into a ward of the whitewashed walls

I remember well the way

It is good-by.

It whizzed and whistled along the blurred

I've been thinkin' of it over, an' it 'pears to me, etc.
Judge of the earth, to whom

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done

O Columbia, the gem of the ocean
O'er thy purple hills, O Cuba!

O fairest of the blue Antilles .

Off with your hat as the flag goes by!

O God of Battles, who art still

O God of hosts, whose mighty hand

O God! that I might breathe of Freedom's air
Oh, Johnny Bull! you know, John
Oh, rise up in your glorious might

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light
Oh, the roses we plucked for the blue

Our good steeds snuff the evening air

Out of the clover and blue-eyed grass

Roll a river wide and strong

She's up there, Old Glory, — where lightning, etc.
She was no armored cruiser of twice six, etc.
Sing, bird, on green Missouri's plain

Smooth and lean, - they have stripped her clean
So that soldierly legend is still on its journey
Spain's hour has struck. No more her flag
Stand! the ground's your own, my braves!
Strike for the Anglo-Saxon!

The apples are ripe in the orchard

The army is gathering from near and from far
The band was playing " Dixie "when he marched, etc.
The evening and the morning have joined, etc.
The first great fight of the war is fought!
The four-way winds of the world have blown
The lioness whelped, and the sturdy cub.
The maid who binds her warrior's sash
The man who wears the shoulder-straps
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
