Rhyme Scheme: AABBAAACCAAABBA DDEEDFFGGFDDHHDAABBA| Oh the sight entrancing | A |
| When morning's beam is glancing | A |
| O'er files array'd | B |
| With helm and blade | B |
| And plumes in the gay wind dancing | A |
| When hearts are all high beating | A |
| And the trumpet's voice repeating | A |
| That song whose breath | C |
| May lead to death | C |
| But never to entreating | A |
| Oh the sight entrancing | A |
| When morning's beam is glancing | A |
| O'er files array'd | B |
| With helm and blade | B |
| And plumes in the gay wind dancing | A |
| - | |
| Yet tis not helm or feather | D |
| For ask yon despot whether | D |
| His plumed bands | E |
| Could bring such hands | E |
| And hearts as ours together | D |
| Leave pomps to those who need 'em | F |
| Give man but heart and freedom | F |
| And proud he braves | G |
| The gaudiest slaves | G |
| That crawl where monarchs lead 'em | F |
| The sword may pierce the beaver | D |
| Stonewalls in time may sever | D |
| 'Tis mind alone | H |
| Worth steel and stone | H |
| That keeps men free for ever | D |
| Oh that sight entrancing | A |
| When the morning's beam is glancing | A |
| O'er files array'd | B |
| With helm and blade | B |
| And in Freedom's cause advancing | A |
