River, mother of fighting men, [bad word] )
Sternest barrier of our land, [bad word] )
From thy bosom we drew life:
Ancient, honoured, mighty, [bad word] 

Oh! what worship had been thine, [bad word] )
Hadst thou held the foe-men, drowned; [bad word] )
Flood, more precious far than wine,
Victress, saviour, [bad word]  [bad word] 
Like a girl before her lover, [bad word] )
How thou falterdst, - like a slave; [bad word] )
Sank and fainted, low and lower,
When thy mission was to save.
Coward, traitress, [bad word] 

On thy narrowed, niggard strand, [bad word] )
Despairing, now the tyrant's hand [bad word] )
Grips the last remnant of our land,
Wounded and alone I stand,
Tricked, derided, [bad word]
