Douglas-Our Union, Right or Wrong

Verse 1:
ROUSE, hearts of Freedom's only home!
Hark to disunion's cry;
Dear Liberty! beneath their home,
Proclaim that danger's nigh.
Come, let you noble shouts run forth
In trumpet voices strong,
"We know no South, we know no North-
Our Union, right or wrong."

Verse 2:
The temple our brave fathers make
The wonder of the world,
Shall they behold their sons dismayed
When treason's flag's unfurled?
Oh! never!-by the glorious stars,
Which on our banner throng!
Rouse, sons of three victorious wars-
Our Union, right or wrong.

Verse 3:
Our patriotic father's shades,
With Washington's on high,
Point to thier blood-annointed blades,
And to their children cry:
Rouse, Freemen! by your father's scars
On to the rescue throng;
Defend our flag and sacred stars-
Our Union, right or wrong.

Verse 4:
Sons of the Press! Proclaim its worth
In telegraphic fires,
Bid Young America stand forth,
And emulate her sires:
wake, sister States! And hand in hand
Round noble DOUGLAS throng;
Come, shouting in one noble band,
OUR UNION, RIGHT OR WRONG!
