| Though proudly the victor comes | B |
| With fluttering flags and prancing nags | C |

| Tho' the enemy seems to have won | L |
| Tho' his ranks are strong if he be in the wrong | M |

| For as sure as the morning follows | N |
| The darkest hour of the night | E |

| O woman young yet old | O |
| O heart oppressed in the toiler's breast | P |
| And crushed by the power of gold | O |
| Keep on with your weary battle | Q |
| Against triumphant might | E |
| No question is ever settled | F |
| Until it is settled right | E |
