D)lerc : Rah, rah, rah, whoorah for me; We will assert our individuality. Of his precedence and power man may loudly prate, And assert his sole right to vote, and legislate; But woman by nature is his equal quite, And will bravely come to the front to claim her right. n. Chorus. Woman with love and patience has alway meekly striven. And aided man in all his works— under heaven; But now through sad experience .she to age has grown. She deems the times propitious to call he .soul her own. Chorus. Henceforth only upon equal terms can man with woman mate, For she has resolved to have her say in home, town and state; And will elect a council of women, to guard and represent. Her rights and interests in town, province, and parliament. Chorus. In Columbia's fair free land, We will take a brave and noble .stand, A staunch and patriotic band, And give to humanity a helping hand. Chorus. If J \\ Woman will legislate for the good of humanity, With no unseemly airs, or show of vanity; An independent half of the state she will represent, And partisan j^overnment shall he a flyinj? sent. ClIOKlS. We will be loyal, ami faithfully fulfill every trust; We will defend the right, and be sincere and just; We will fight for our homes, and country's cause; We will be worthy of freedom, and obedi-nt to her laws. Chokis We care not for the present system of autocracy; We shout for woman, freedom, and domocracy: We are on our biss— , and have come to stay: We will lead the world, and reform America. Chorus. One government alone over the people there shall be. Founded upon natures good, the good of humanity: Children must learn to be good for the good of being good: And men and women for their good must live as they should. Chorts. Man would be good, brave and generous he, Yet he is daft, and to obtu.se to see. That a government of the people by the people there cannot be, Directed and controlled by one half of humanity. Chorus. '■ \ Man has governed the world according to his way, Now let woman come forward to have her say; It cannot be worse for contention, crime, and misery, And when she comes who shall tell her naye ? Chorus. ^ To al)i(lelhis autocratic system of goveriimcnt, Woinaii will no longer consent nor be content; And there must be a new birth of freedom upon this continent, When the millions of women shall be born to their enfranchisement. CnoRi's. With woman enfranchised, united and free, Ignorance, poverty, and vice from the world shall flee; Mankind nature's laws shall understand. And jieace, and plenty shall come to their hand. ClIOKlS. A govenunent of the ix^ople by the peo])le there shall be, A (iovernment for the people that shall stand through (.ternity: A human paradise, as near as can be given, Under nature's laws, and the power of heaven. Chorus. One federation o'er this continent shall rule. And be a law, and exem])lar to the world: The nations shall in peace and harmony together dwell. And love, and rapture the bosoms of the |3eople swell. Chorus. There's much stern brave work to be well and fitly done. Ere woman shall triumph, and see her kingdom come; Yet, there are women of nerve and willto work out the end assured. And accomplish that for which the world has waited, prayed, endured. Chorus. Let all good, brave, women rally to our call. Organize, prepare for battle, and by your rights stand or fall; Then in serried ranks charge valiantly down upon the foe; Trusting Heaven for strength, w^e shall to certain victory go. Chorus. ADDENDA. I I > Tlif author of the foregoing song in KivitiK it forth to the American public fet'ls it incutnhent upon him to say. that for the present era in the worhl'a history he has been waiting, preparing, and ripening for a half-century. In 1H61 he knew from his studies of prophetic scripture, and the events of history, that the system of government to l>e set up in the last «lays of the system cov- ered by the great image, seen by King Nebuchadnezar in his dream and inter- preted l)y the prophet Daniel, Was based upon the principle of human lilwjrty, supported, directed, and controlled by the intelligence of a trained individuality; and he knew Unt, that this system of government was to l)e founded upon the international federation of the two oldest and most promising daughters of Creat Mritain, (the mother of colonies,) located side by side in North America, and thf t this federation would be the means of saving the British nation from utter annihilation in the great day of trouble, which was fast preparing to come upon the world. Knowing all this, he saw ami realized the great necessity of preserving the unity and the integrity of the United vStates, as the one great and only hope of humanity: and he was one of the first to volunteer to put down the great rebellion of the Southern vStates, which threatened to destroy her. He served out his term of enlistment three years at the front, in the army af the rotomae, and with an honorable discharge returned to his Canadian home, not feeling able to do further service on account of an injury incurred in line of duty, which has caused him to suffer from lumbar rheumatism, and both physical and mental prostration, that has rendered him unfit for labor, or business, with very little intermission since his discharge. During these years he bas struggled hard to make an honest living, and lamented his inability to push his studies with vigor, and to make preparation for the accomplishment of the great work which he feels was the mission of his life: yet he did not dis- pair for he knew his brain was .sound, and he felt assured down in his heart that his nerve power would eventually be restored, and his brain would come out bright and clear, rnd ready to act with increased force, when the auspicious op- portunity arrived for the completion of his work. These expectations of his are now in process of being verified and he feels greatly encouraged; for he now sees his way clearly, events are propitious, the signal for action has been given, and he feels like taking hold of his work. Woman's Resolve, was an entirely involuntary act, and was not named untill after its composition; for the chorus was written as the begining of a chant, especially intended for the female Stu- dents of vStanstead College, as an offset to the male students "college yell," which was heard on their last convocation day. But after the chorus was metered and sung to an air which presented itself for the occasio ♦he idea suggested itself to make it a woman suffrage campaign song, and that is what it turned out to be. The author is both pleased and surprised at the result of his efforts, for whatever merit it may lack as a song, or a literary pro
