Patriotic Fervor in Music - “La Marseillaise"

Ye sons of France, awake to glory! Hark! Hark! the people bid you rise! Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary Behold their tears and hear their cries! Behold their tears and hear their cries! Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding, With hireling hosts a ruffian band Affright and desolate the land While peace and liberty lie bleeding? To arms, to arms, ye brave! Th'avenging sword unsheathe! March on, march on, all hearts resolved On liberty or death.

Oh liberty can man resign thee, Once having felt thy gen'rous flame? Can dungeons, bolts, and bar confine the? Or whips thy noble spirit tame? Or whips thy noble spirit tame? Too long the world has wept bewailing That falsehood's dagger tyrants wield; But freedom is our sword and shield And all their arts are unavailing. To arms, to arms, ye brave! Th'avenging sword unsheathe! March on, march on, all hearts resolved On liberty or death.
