Listen my children, and a fire shall burn,
In your souls
For years to come;
When you shall hear of the fearlessness,
Of Revere and Dawes and countless others.

The good Dr.Warren of the Sons of Liberty,
Summoned Revere and Dawes to hear
Of his plan of Liberty and Freedom;
“Warn Hancock, and Adams at Lexington;
And awaken every farm like a fiery beacon.”

Two trusty friends row Revere across the Charles,
Who jumps onto the shore and straddles the horse
Of another staunch Patriot, this time Deacon Larkin;
He casts one glance to ensure that his signal,
“The British are marching!” was seen by all.

Just in time, did Revere arrive,
To awaken the Minutemen at Medford,
To advance on to Lexington for the Patriot leaders;
To press forward with Dawes and Prescott,
And secure arms and ammunition for glory and honor to America.

CAPTURED! At one in the morning,
And so was checked their victorious march;
Dawes and Prescott took flight in time,
And stealthily seized the arms at Concord;
Before the British even realized that “The Battle Was On”!

And so did Revere, back at Lexington,
Become the first to hear the “Shot heard around the World,"
Become the pioneer of the American Revolution;
To kindle the fire in thy hearts
For ages and centuries and aeons aforth.
