The Watch On The Rhine

Like thunder roll resouuds the cry ; Like sword-clash ; Uke waves ulashiug high ; The Khine, the Rhlne, our Germán Küiue, Who wlll defeud iu battle line? Dear Father-land, of doubt no sign, For ürm and true we guard the lthine. Our hundred thousands feel the thrill, Eyes flash wlib iire, uo heart is still. The Germau, honest, reverent, strong, Defends the streaiu its course along. He Hfts his eyes to heaven in prayer, Sees hero-fathers gatheriug there, And swears, eager for battle strife, Germau i'U ketp thee as my lile. Till the last blood drop leaves each heart, Tiil sword aud liand forever part ; Till the last hero lies ia gore, No foe shall deBecrate thy shore. Heaven hears our vows, like waves we move Our banners kiss the winds above. Along the Rhine. our Hply Bhiue, Stand we all in proteetiug line.
