Men Of Harlech

verse 1 Men of Harlech march to glory Victory is hov’ring o’er ye Bright-eyed freedom stands before ye Hear ye not her call verse 2 At your sloth she seems to wonder Rend the sluggish bonds asunder Let the war-cry’s deafning thunder Every foe appall Echoes loudly waking Hill and valley shaking ‘Till the sound spreads wide around The Saxon’s courage breaking Your foes on every side assailing Forward press with heart unfailing ‘Till invaders learn with quailing Cambria ne’er can yield verse 3 Thou who noble Cambria wrongest Know that freedom’s cause is strongest Freedom’s courage lasts the longest Ending but with death verse 4 Freedom countless hosts can scatter Freedom stoutest mail can shatter Freedom thickest walls can batter Fate is in her breath See they now are flying Dead are heap’d with dying Over might hath triumph’d right Our land to foes denying Upon their soil we never sought them Love of conquest hither brought them But this lesson we have taught them Cambria ne’er can yield But this lesson we have taught them Cambria ne’er can yield
