Election Day

Steady! Mark time! And forward every man!
Eyes on the foe, care not for the beholder!
So move to victory like the starry van,
Close ranked, resistless, shoulder touching shoulder!

Waterloo, Sedan, and Gettysburg were won
By armies not so mighty as we bring.
What if we bear a ballot for a gun?
Yet 'tis the sword and scepter of a king.

Strike straight and strong on Error's hardened pate!
Strike as they struck, our good colonial sires!
Strike for our Honor, for our Land and State,
Strike for America and her altar fires!

Steady! Mark time! And forward every man!
Eyes on the foe, care not for the beholder!
So move to victory like the starry van,
Close ranked, resistless, shoulder touching shoulder!
