Ten Favourite Songs/Farewell thou fair day

Farewell, Thou Fair Day.

Farewell, thou fair day, thou green earth and ye skies,
 Now gay with the broad setting sun!
Farewell! loves and friendships, ye dear tender ties;
 Our race of existence is run!

Thou grim king of terrors, thou life's gloomy foe,
 Go frighten the coward and slave,
Go teach them to tremble, fell tyrant! but know,
 No terrors hast thou to the brave!

In the field of proud honour, our swords in our hands,
 Our king and our country to save,
While victory shines on life's last ebbing sands,
 O, who would not die with the brave!
