<h3> CARRY ON! </h3>
<p class="poem">
That all freedom may abide<br/>
Carry on!<br/>
For the brave who fought and died,<br/>
Carry on!<br/>
England's flag so long adored<br/>
Is the banner of the Lord—<br/>
His the cannon—His the sword—<br/>
Carry on, and on! Carry on!<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
Through the night of death and tears,<br/>
Carry on!<br/>
Through the hour that scars and sears,<br/>
Carry on!<br/>
Legions in the flame-torn sky,—<br/>
Armies that go reeling by,—<br/>
Only once can each man die;<br/>
Carry on!<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
For the things you count the best,<br/>
Carry on!<br/>
Take love with you,—leave the rest—<br/>
Carry on!<br/>
Though the fight be short or long,<br/>
Men of ours—O dear and strong—<br/>
Yours will be the Victor's song,<br/>
Carry on—and on! Carry on!<br/></p>
