The Winds of War-News + 

The winds of war-news change and veer: + 

Now westerly and full of cheer, + 

Now easterly, depressing, sour + 

With tidings of the Teutons’ power. + 

But thou, America, whose heart + 

With brave Allies has taken part, + 

Be not a weathercock to change + 

With these wild winds that shift and range. + 

Be thou a compass ever true, + 

Through sullen clouds or skies of blue, + 

To that great star which rules the night⁠— + 

The star of Liberty and Right. + 

Lover of peace, oh set thy soul, + 

Thy strength, thy wealth, thy conscience whole, + 

To win the peace thine eyes foresee⁠— + 

The triumph of Democracy. + 
