| Here we halt our march and pitch our tent | B |
| On the rugged forest ground | C |
| And light our fire with the branches rent | B |
| By winds from the beeches round | C |
| Wild storms have torn this ancient wood | D |
| But a wilder is at hand | E |
| With hail of iron and rain of blood | F |
| To sweep and waste the land | E |

| How the dark wood rings with voices shrill | G |
| That startle the sleeping bird | H |
| To morrow eve must the voice be still | G |
| And the step must fall unheard | H |
| The Briton lies by the blue Champlain | I |
| In Ticonderoga's towers | J |
| And ere the sun rise twice again | K |
| The towers and the lake are ours | J |

| Fill up the bowl from the brook that glides | L |
| Where the fireflies light the brake | M |
| A ruddier juice the Briton hides | L |
| In his fortress by the lake | M |
| Build high the fire till the panther leap | N |
| From his lofty perch in flight | O |
| And we'll strenghten our weary arms with sleep | N |
| For the deeds of to morrow night | O |
