Then, then shall our legions'go forth to the fray, Invincible, clad in their battle-array; And conquering angels shall lead on the fight For Freedom and Fatherland, God and the Right!

VETERAN SONG OF THOMAS' OLD CORPS.
BY "DELTA."
HAVE our hearts grown colder, comrades?
Is our country's flag less dear ? Though our thoughts may wander homewards,
Can we leave the Old Flag here ? While our thinn'd ranks front the foemen
We so oft have met before, Who would cheer us, man or woman,
Should we leave the brave old Corps ?
By the star-lit folds above us —
By our comrades mould'ring low — By the hopes of those who love us —
We will turn not from the foe ! While our thinn'd ranks front the foemen
We so oft have met before, Who would cheer us, man or woman,
Should we leave the brave old Corps ? |
