Fail! who dares to utter such a thought, With heritage so dearly bought; What! twenty millions freemen fail, Who do and dare, whose hearts ne'er quail, Whose cause is just and must prevail O'er every foe? Fail! with millions spent, with thousands slain, With all our tears, with all our pains, With all we've lost, with all we've won? By Fredericksburgh! by Donelson! By heaven, no!

In this battle for the Union of our fathers, man to man! We are men of Massachusetts! O shades of mighty dead! Awakened from your sleeping by the thunder of our tread! Do ye marvel at the striving of your sons above your graves? Do ye ask, what means this reddening clash of bayonets and glaves? They would pluck the stars from out the flag, and break the corner-stone, And in Freedom's sacred altar-place erect a reeking throne
