Awake! Young Men of England

Awake! Young Men of England 
 
Oh! give me the strength of the Lion, 
The wisdom of reynard the Fox 
And then I'll hurl troops at the Germans 
And give them the hardest of knocks. 
 
Oh! think of the War Lord's mailed fist, 
That is striking at England today: 
And think of the lives that our soldiers 
Are fearlessly throwing away. 
 
Awake! Oh you young men of England, 
For if, when your Country's in need, 
You do not enlist by the thousand, 
You truly are cowards indeed.
 
 
George Orwell
The Henley and South Oxfordshire Standard, 2 October 1914
