Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGCDED HIHICDED EJEJEDEDThere is no escape by the river | A |
There is no flight left by the fen | B |
We are compassed about by the shiver | A |
Of the night of their marching men | B |
Give a cheer | C |
For our hearts shall not give way | D |
Here's to a dark to morrow | E |
And here's to a brave to day | D |

The tale of their hosts is countless | F |
And the tale of ours a score | G |
But the palm is naught to the dauntless | F |
And the cause is more and more | G |
Give a cheer | C |
We may die but not give way | D |
Here's to a silent morrow | E |
And here's to a stout to day | D |
- | |
God has said Ye shall fail and perish | H |
But the thrill ye have felt to night | I |
I shall keep in my heart and cherish | H |
When the worlds have passed in night | I |
Give a cheer | C |
For the soul shall not give way | D |
Here's to the greater to morrow | E |
That is born of a great to day | D |
- | |
Now shame on the craven truckler | E |
And the puling things that mope | J |
We've a rapture for our buckler | E |
That outwears the wings of hope | J |
Give a cheer | E |
For our joy shall not give way | D |
Here's in the teeth of to morrow | E |
To the glory of to day | D |
