Explore "In The Day of Battle" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the day of battle, / In the night of dread, / Let one hymn be lifted, / Let one prayer be said.
Not for pride of conquest, / Not for vengeance wrought, / Nor for peace and safety / With dishonour bought!
Praise for faith in freedom, / Our fighting fathers' stay, / Born of dreams and daring, / Bred above dismay.
Prayer for cloudless vision, / And the valiant hand, / That the right may triumph / To the last demand.
