  The Call of the Blood

  Hark! What's the sound now stealing o’er the

  vasty deep

  It is the sound of Nations awakening from

  their sleep;

  “Mother, we hear thee calling” – and Mother,

  we’re coming home!’

  “Mother, we'll gather round thee to defend

   our Empire's throne.”

  “In thousands we are coming, Mother, and thousands

   follow still;

  From farm & city hasten we, from Ranch and

   timber mill;

  From the land of the “Maple Leaf” we come to

   stand by thee - ”

  “Our hearts are true and steadfast, our face’s

   set and stern."

  "The German’s will soon find, “Mother” they’ve

  got a lot to learn.

  With Bayonet fixed and steady, they’ll

  find we all are ready

  To teach them a good lesson, for  they 

  the Belgian homes they burned

   

  Ireland was in rebellion, they thought

   it was their chance

  But “Mother" we’ve come home again, to

  rally round our Flag.

  And, the Germans, now understand -

  that -

  United we still stand.
