I have a vague remembrance	A
Of a story that is told	B
In some ancient Spanish legend	C
Or chronicle of old	B
	-
It was when brave King Sanchez	D
Was before Zamora slain	E
And his great besieging army	F
Lay encamped upon the plain	E
	-
Don Diego de Ordonez	D
Sallied forth in front of all	G
And shouted loud his challenge	H
To the warders on the wall	G
	-
All the people of Zamora	I
Both the born and the unborn	J
As traitors did he challenge	H
With taunting words of scorn	J
	-
The living in their houses	K
And in their graves the dead	L
And the waters of their rivers	M
And their wine and oil and bread	L
	-
There is a greater army	F
That besets us round with strife	N
A starving numberless army	F
At all the gates of life	N
	-
The poverty stricken millions	O
Who challenge our wine and bread	L
And impeach us all as traitors	M
Both the living and the dead	L
	-
And whenever I sit at the banquet	P
Where the feast and song are high	Q
Amid the mirth and the music	R
I can hear that fearful cry	Q
	-
And hollow and haggard faces	K
Look into the lighted hall	G
And wasted hands are extended	S
To catch the crumbs that fall	G
	-
For within there is light and plenty	F
And odors fill the air	T
But without there is cold and darkness	U
And hunger and despair	T
	-
And there in the camp of famine	V
In wind and cold and rain	E
Christ the great Lord of the army	F
Lies dead upon the plain	E
