Classic Poem

Call us, America,
If you want men!
Sound the loud clarion
Over the camp;
We shall come merrily
Marching again
Out of the wilderness,
Out of the damp.
To the blue firmament
Fling the blue flag,
Banner of liberty,
Red, white and blue,
High on the mountain-top's
Uttermost crag —
Call us, America,
Call up the crew!

Call us, America,
Out of the wood,
Out of the timberland,
If it be war;
Call up the lumberjacks,
They who have stood
On your red battle-line
Fighting before.
When they have challenged you
We have replied,
Men from the lumber camp
Answered them then —
Guarding the Government,
Guarding the tide,
Call us, America,
If you want men!
