2.
Illinois! The times are calling
Souls that fear no sacrifice! Men for Liberty are falling;
Will your sons refuse the price? Scorning danger) on with joy!
On forever, Illinois! On through death! On, on with joy!
On forever, Illinois! |
3.
Illinois! Thy meed of glory
That all men, till years are dust, Shall thy sons, high famed in story,
Silent, heaven-borne eagles, trust! On through death! On, on with joy!
On forever, Illinois! Eagle-pinioned, on with joy!
On forever, Illinois! |
