John Bull he is another, and he marches Jack beside;

And Yankee Doodle joins with them—three brothers, God for guide:

''Vive l'Amerique! l'Angleterre! la France!''

Vive la—Vive la France!

Praying!—What are they praying, there, for?

''Dieu! Seigneur! A ton Esprit la gloire!''

The Peace of Justice reign forever more!

Vive l'Esprit de la France!

We are marching in alliance that our faith may be restored;

We are fighting, we are cheering, for a nobler world-accord;

We are praying, through the tempest, unto Liberty, our Lord:

''Vive l'Alliance! Vive la France!''

Vive la victoire de la France!

Percy MacKaye.
