WIEN THE REGIMENT PASSED.

There was din in the street. there was
rushing Of feet,
At the hum and the thrum Of far-away
drum,
Every eve in the town watched a road
winding down
BY meadows of ripening. following wheat.
Every being was filled with the beat that
had thrilled
And wbrred as it stirred like the wings
Of a bird
Through the sunny air clear, growing near
and more near.
Till all other sound in creation was stilled!
Then swift came the CLEAN OF noun
side stream,
Which quivered and grew like the stars,
like the dew,
Like the suns darling glance where little
waves dance,
Like a g,ittering river that wound from

o it broadened and spread till vibrating
In unison beat through the dust to our
feet!
o it drcw every hue, from the heavens
calm blue =,
To the poppies' red blood through the
wheat field shed!
Then n plume hoated white, and they
broke on our sight
With bugle note clear, they drew near
and cheer
Burst from us; then dumb Mt the roll OF
the drum
As they reached us and touched us, and
dumb with delight.
We drew nigh, we pressed nigh. our
hearts throbbing high,
20 the tun ult of JOY in the heart OF

Women crowded about. and flag fioated
out,
And we uttered a shout that rang up to
the sky!
LAY, it rings for me yet! Can I ever
forget
That thrill and that JOY in the heart of

Then, barefooted throng, we marched
proudly along,
Knowing nnught of farewells or OF eyes
that we're wet,
Hearing only the beat Of the drum and
the feet
Treading onward to war, growing faint
growing far,
Seeing only the track, dust enciouded
whence back
Looked never man to that village street
low we fingered around, listening 10"

Till the thrum Of the drum was clover

How we marched retreat through thu

And followed the footprints which GOV

And wien weary Mt last. how we happil!

Ourselves down in the wheat, talking

Needing not the wild red where crushed

There Is literally no position which Is
impossible to the valdares ON their
