<strong>American</strong> Clan <strong>Gregor</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />

Peace cannot last forever<br />

Dream not <strong>of</strong> aught so strange!<br />

What ne'er hath been will be not<br />

In Human History's range,<br />

And <strong>of</strong> all her laws <strong>the</strong> strongest,<br />

It is <strong>the</strong> Law <strong>of</strong> Change.<br />

When Europe again is smiling<br />

When her great guns are dumb,<br />

When her battlefields are greening.<br />

And her shops and looms a-hum<br />

As sure as <strong>the</strong>re's Heaven above us,<br />

'Tis <strong>the</strong>n our time will come.<br />

Tramp, tramp, tramp!<br />

And now 'tis millions strong;<br />

And it falls— ^this tread, on <strong>the</strong> heart like lead,<br />

Yet 'tis war <strong>of</strong> right 'gainst wrong;<br />

Who coldly neutral is,<br />

And hath no heart in this fray,<br />

The Fiery Cross it sheds no gleam<br />

Upon his narrow way.<br />

Tramp, tramp, tramp!<br />

We have helped—we'll be helping still.<br />

We are part <strong>of</strong> a Clan who, woman and man,<br />

Have breasted <strong>the</strong> waves <strong>of</strong> ill.<br />

All hail to <strong>the</strong> Chief o'er yonder!<br />

All hail to <strong>the</strong> Chieftain here!<br />

In <strong>the</strong>se <strong>the</strong> days that prove men's souls<br />

Their souls shine high and clear.
