BATTLE HYMN OF THE SPANISH REBELLION by LOUIS ALEXANDER MACKAY

First Line: THE CHURCH'S ONE FOUNDATION
Last Line: THE BOMBING-PLANES OF JOVE.
Subject(s): MUSLIMS; REVOLUTIONS; SPAIN; WAR; MOSLEMS;
The Church's one foundation
Is now the Moslem sword,
In meek collaboration
With flame, and axe, and cord;
While overhead are floating,
Deep-winged with holy love
The battle-planes of Wotan,
The bombing-planes of Jove.
