It's time to forget our ain quarrels the noo as to the way o' winning; we need dispute nae mair as to that.

But there's ane thing we maun not forget, I'm thinking.

The war taught us many and many a thing, but none that was worth mair to us than this.

It taught us that we were invincible sae lang as we stood together, we folk who speak the common English tongue.
Noo, there's something we knew before, did we no?
Yet we didna act upon our knowledge.

Shall we ha' to have anither lesson like the one that's past and done wi', sometime in the future?
Not in your lifetime or mine, I mean, but any time at a'?
Would it no be a sair pity if that were so?
Would it no mak' God feel that we were a stupid lot, not worth the saving?
None can hurt us if we but stand together, Britons and Americans.
We've a common blood and a common speech.
