Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Элла Уилкокс)
They Shall Not Win
Whatever the strength of our foes is now, Whatever it may have been, This is our slogan, and this our vow- They shall not win, they shall not win. Though out of the darkness they call the aid Of the evil forces of Sin, We utter our slogan unafraid- They shall not win, they shall not win. We know we are right, and know they are wrong, So to God above and within- We make our vow and we sing our song They shall not win, they shall not win. It rises over the shriek of shell, And over the cannons’ din: Our slogan shall scatter the hosts of Hell- They shall not win, they shall not win.
