Carry On!

Author: Virna Sheard [More Titles by Sheard]

That all freedom may abide
Carry on!
For the brave who fought and died,
Carry on!
England's flag so long adored
Is the banner of the Lord--
His the cannon--His the sword--
Carry on, and on! Carry on!

Through the night of death and tears,
Carry on!
Through the hour that scars and sears,
Carry on!
Legions in the flame-torn sky,--
Armies that go reeling by,--
Only once can each man die;
Carry on!

For the things you count the best,
Carry on!
Take love with you,--leave the rest--
Carry on!
Though the fight be short or long,
Men of ours--O dear and strong--
Yours will be the Victor's song,
Carry on--and on! Carry on!

[The end]
