VII. UP! MARCH AWAY!
Shall the warrior rest, when so near him
The flag of the foe is unfurled?
No! the sweets of repose shall not cheer him,
'Till that flag from its station be hurled.
His night-cloak round him folding,
He will watch the dawn of day,
And the first sun's beam beholding,
He will cry—“Up! March away!”
The flag of the foe is unfurled?
No! the sweets of repose shall not cheer him,
'Till that flag from its station be hurled.
His night-cloak round him folding,
He will watch the dawn of day,
And the first sun's beam beholding,
He will cry—“Up! March away!”
In the night as his watch-path he paces,
He pauses and leans on his spear,
And he thinks of kind friends and loved places,
'Till down his pale cheek steals a tear!
Awhile with deep devotion,
For the absent he will pray;
But how transient his emotion,
Hark! he cries—“Up! March away!”
He pauses and leans on his spear,
And he thinks of kind friends and loved places,
'Till down his pale cheek steals a tear!
215
For the absent he will pray;
But how transient his emotion,
Hark! he cries—“Up! March away!”
