Thought tightened, and the poets raised their song,And verse exchanged in splendour's bright throng;
My spirit woke upon hope's dawning shore,To greet the lights of radiance evermore;
Where heaven's angels called with voices clear,O people, come together, draw thou near;
Raise high the banners on the ramparts grand,Beside the sea — a symbol of the land;
Cross thou the waves, O lions of the fight,How many victims marked sacrifice's flight;
O heroes, O brave army of the fray,Join thou the symbol of eternity;
O troops of triumph, splendour has appeared,Reviving hopes with confidence endeared;
Send forth resolve to every land and clime,And pour warm courage through the wastes of time;
Awaken thou the world, and let it knowWe, O world, were created for love's glow;
We shall erase whate'er they built with pride,All that the hostile peoples did provide.
