By the Nile the sacred river	A
I can see the captive hordes	B
Strain beneath the lash and quiver	A
At the long papyrus cords	B
While in granite rapt and solemn	C
Rising over roof and column	C
Amen hotep dreams or Ramses	D
Lord of Lords	B
	-
I can hear the trumpets waken	E
For a victory old and far	F
Carchemish or Kadesh taken	E
I can see the conqueror's car	F
Bearing down some Hittite valley	G
Where the bowmen break and sally	G
Sargina or Esarhaddon	E
Grim with war	H
	-
From the mountain streams that sweeten	E
Indus to the Spanish foam	I
I can feel the broad earth beaten	E
By the serried tramp of Rome	I
Through whatever foes environ	E
Onward with the might of iron	E
Veni vidi veni vici	B
Crashing home	I
	-
I can see the kings grow pallid	J
With astonished fear and hate	K
As the hosts of Amr or Khaled	J
On their cities fall like fate	K
Like the heat wind from its prison	E
In the desert burst and risen	E
La ilaha illah 'llahu	L
God is great	K
	-
I can hear the iron rattle	M
I can see the arrows sting	N
In some far off northern battle	M
Where the long swords sweep and swing	N
I can hear the scalds declaiming	N
I can see their eyeballs flaming	N
Gathered in a frenzied circle	M
Round the king	N
	-
I can hear the horn of Uri	G
Roaring in the hills enorm	I
Kindled at its brazen fury	G
I can see the clansmen form	I
In the dawn in misty masses	B
Pouring from the silent passes	B
Over Granson or Morgarten	E
Like the storm	I
	-
On the lurid anvil ringing	N
To some slow fantastic plan	E
I can hear the sword smith singing	N
In the heart of old Japan	E
Till the cunning blade grows tragic	N
With his malice and his magic	N
Tenka tairan Tenka tairan	E
War to man	E
	-
Where a northern river charges	B
From the murky forest marges	B
Round a broken palisade	O
I can see the red men leaping	N
See the sword of Daulac sweeping	N
And the ghostly forms of heroes	B
Fall and fade	O
	-
I can feel the modern thunder	A
Of the cannon beat and blaze	B
When the lines of men go under	A
On your proudest battle days	B
Through the roar I hear the lifting	N
Of the bloody chorus drifting	N
Round the burning mill at Valmy	I
Marseillaise	B
	-
I can see the ocean rippled	P
With the driving shot like rain	E
While the hulls are crushed and crippled	P
And the guns are piled with slain	E
O'er the blackened broad sea meadow	Q
Drifts a tall and titan shadow	Q
And the cannon of Trafalgar	A
Startle Spain	E
	-
Still the tides of fight are booming	N
And the barren blood is spilt	R
Still the banners are up looming	N
And the hands are on the hilt	R
But the old world waxes wiser	A
From behind the bolted visor	A
It descries at last the horror	A
And the guilt	R
	-
Yet the eyes are dim nor wholly	G
Open to the golden gleam	I
And the brute surrenders slowly	G
To the godhead and the dream	I
From his cage of bar and girder	A
Still at moments mad with murder	A
Leaps the tiger and his demon	E
Rules supreme	I
One more war with fire and famine	E
Gathers I can hear its cries	B
And the years of might and Mammon	E
Perish in a world's demise	B
When the strength of man is shattered	S
And the powers of earth are scattered	S
From beneath the ghastly ruin	E
Peace shall rise	B
