Marching To Conquest Poem by Carrie Williams Clifford

We are battling for the right with
purpose strong and true,
Tis a mighty struggle, but we’ve
pledged to dare and do;
Pledged to conquer evil, and we’ll see
the conflict thro’,
Marching and marching to conquest.
All the noble things of life we’ll teach
our girls and boys,
Warn them of its pitfalls, and reveal
its purest joys;
Counsel, guide and keep them from
the evil that destroys…
Ignorance and vice and hate at our
Approach shall flee.
As we go marching to conquest.
