A scrap of paper

"Only a 'scrap of paper'!

Only a simple word

But a Briton saw that paper

And a Briton read that word.

A bugle note rang shrill and long,

A message sad it bore.

To arms! to arms !it loudly called,

A traitor nears our shore.

A couchant Sion raised his head,

A heard the sound of woe;

He rose and shook his shaggy mane

Then sprang to meet the foe.

    A scrap of paper

    Only a scrap of paper!

    Only a simple word

    But a Britan saw that paper

    And a Britan read that word.


    A bugle bote rang shrill and long,

    A message sad it love.

    So arms! to arms !it loudly called,

    A traitor nears our shore.


    A couchant  ... raised his head,

    A heard the sound of woe;

    He rose and shook his shaggy mane

    Then sprang to meet the foe.
