greatpoetryWar Song
Soldier, in a curious land
All across a swaying sea,
Take her smile and lift her hand —
Have no guilt of me.
Solider, when were soldiers true?
If she's kind and sweet and gay,
Use the wish I send to you —
Lie not lone til day!
Only, for the nights that were,
Soldier, and the dawns that came,
When in my sleep you turn to her
Call her by my name.
