Peril surrounding, Danger abounding, Menace confounding, Threaten our land; Highly deciding, Firmly confiding, Boldly abiding, Stoutly we stand. Cowards may call us, Horrors appall us, Evils befall us, We will not yield; Faith to be plighted, Wrongs to be righted, Souls to be knighted, -- On to the field! Now for a new world, Now for a true world, Gladly for you, world, Dare we to fight. We will not palter, We will not falter, Knaves to the halter, God for the right! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREAT LOVER by RUPERT BROOKE TO MY NINETH DECADE by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR TO MRS.
