Not as the conqueror comes, They, the true-hearted, came, 10 Not with the roll of the stirring drums And the trumpet that speaks of fame. 1 By courtesy of McClure, Phillips & Co. Not as the flying come, In silence, and in fear; They shook the depths of the desert gloom With their hymns of lofty cheer. 5 Amid the storm they sang, And the stars heard, and the sea; And the sounding aisles of the dim woods rang To the anthems of the free!
