Let all the world keep silence at our peace ; 
Let France retreat and Russia step aside 
From their encroachments, bid their envy cease 
Stricken by Fear, who see our strength increase 
By comradeship that quickens to abide, 
A bond of justice, light, and liberty, 
To make the wide earth free 
As the wild waves that slake the passion of the sea. 
 
Let all the world keep silence and behold 
The wrath of two great nations that are friends 
Against who bartered Poland, and who sold 
Italy, weighed out Hungary for gold, 
And shattered Greece to serve no noble ends. 
The traitors and the peoples and the kings 
That love not righteous things, 
They shall behold our wrath, and find our anger stings. 
 
White slaves shall look up and behold a light 
Grow in the islands of the sacred sea, 
And on the land whose forehead kisses night 
And has the dawn upon its wings, whose might 
Is mightier for the lips of Liberty 
Pressed on its new-born cheek, when Church and State 
Drove forth to baffle Fate 
Our sires and yours, whose fame is grown this year so great.
