• Give us a man of God's own mould
  Born to marshall his fellow-men;
  One whose fame is not bought and sold
  At the stroke of a politician's pen.

  Give us a rallying-cry, and then
  Abraham Lincoln, give us a Man.

• No hay nubes en el cielo de la mañana,
  los vapores abrazan el arroyo,
  ¿Quién dice que la vida y el amor pueden morir
  ¿En todo este resplandor del norte?

  La codorniz silba libre,
  La perdiz silba, y los abrojos escarchados
  Caen para ti y para mí.
  Ho! hillyho! heigh O!
  ¡Hillyho!
  En la clara mañana de octubre.
