Intro Verse Come pledge again your heart and your hand One grasp that never will sever Our password be our native land Our motto, love forever And let the orange lily be Your badge, my patriot brother It's the everlasting green for me And we for one another Verse Behold how green the gallant stem On which the flower is blooming How in one heavenly breeze and beam Both flower and stem are glowing The same good soil sustaining both Makes both united flourish But cannot give the orange growth And cease the green to nourish Verse The more the hand that plucks that flower Will vainly strive to cherish In that hour the stem blooms on The flower, it begins to perish Regard them then of equal worth While last their genial weather The time's at hand when deep in earth They will both sink together Verse And though it be in our country's cause Our party feelings blended 'Til lasting peace from equal laws On both will have descended 'Til then the orange lily be Your badge, my patriot brother It's the everlasting green for me And we for one another And we for one another
