Rhyme Scheme: ABC CDEF CFGHI

IN former songs Pride have I sung and Love and passionate joyfulA
LifeB
But here I twine the strands of Patriotism and DeathC
-
And now Life Pride Love Patriotism and DeathC
To you O FREEDOM purport of allD
You that elude me most refusing to be caught in songs of mineE
I offer all to youF
-
-
'Tis not for nothing DeathC
I sound out you and words of you with daring tone embodying youF
In my new Democratic chants keeping you for a closeG
For last impregnable retreat a citadel and towerH
For my last stand my pealing final cryI
