Awake United States!This song was rushed into print between the sinking of the Maine on February 16, 1898 and the declaration of war on April 25, 1898.

Eagle soar on high, and sound the battle cry!

How proudly sailed the warship Maine,

a Nation’s pride, without a stain!

A wreck she lies, her sailors slain.

By two-faced butchers, paid by Spain!

Eagle soar on high,

And sound the battle cry

Wave the starry flag!

In mud it shall not drag!
