��THE .AJMERICAX VOLUNTEERS
NErTRAL ! America, you cannot give
To your sons' souls neutrality. Your powers
Are sovereign, [Mother, but past histories live In hearts as young as ours.
We who are free disdain oppression, lust And infamous raid. We have been pioneers
For freedom and our code of honor must Drj' and not startle tears.
We've read of Lafayette, who came to give
His youth, with his companions and their powers,
To help the Colonies — and heroes live In hearts as young as ours !
Neutral ! We who go forth with sword and lance, A little band to swell the battle's flow.
Go willingly, to pay again to France Some of the debt we owe,
— Marie Van Vorst.
