America in the War

Wake Up, America!

Reading edition

This was done to Canadians by the Huns

AMERICA wakes! The White Christ has called her; She has seen the devils abroad in His world; Evil vaunting himself has appalled her; To the War-wind of Heaven her flag is unfurled! America wakes—with his murder and lust Let the Hun take the path he has carved into hell. No longer blaspheming the Cross with his trust. America wakes, the sick world shall be well. America wakes—God’s last peace-lover, God’s fighter to death, when her peace is assailed. Shout, sing, fling out the flags, War is over; When America battles, right has prevailed!

MARY E. WILKINS FREEMAN.
