We gave our lives ungrudgingly. we did not flinch nor quail,
Strong in the splendid faith we held that justice must prevail,A lion has a tail and a very fine tail,
And so has an elephant, and so has a whale,
And so has a crocodile, and so has a quail–Till Slavery's minious cower and quail;
One charge of fire shall drive them fast
Like chaff before our Northern gale!Their black-browed captain awes them: 'neath his darkened eye they quail,
And in a grim and sullen mood their bitter fate bewail.A lion has a tail and a very fine tail
And so has an elephant and so has a whale,
And so has a crocodile, and so has a quail-But Boreas blew a terrific gale,

And make the foremost Moslem quail;Youths tried with old man to prevail,
To let them blaze away at quail;But the naked - the poor! I know they quail,
With crouching limbs from the biting gale:The knees quail;

Crawling, with a beggar's hand:
On my breast the branded Nail,His rippling hair was long and fair, his cheeks were spirit-pale,
His face was bright with holy light that made us wince and quail.Then burst a storm to make one quail
Though housed from winds and waves--
They who could tell about that gale
