Arms and the Man.

He always said if war should come
He'd not delay minute,
But drop his pen and seize gun
And bravely venture In 1t.
That no one his ability
Or loyalty should doubt
He always sat with firearms
Laid carefully about.
But now, though talk of war is rife.
Ills martial mood is dead.
His ging for the battlefield
Entirely has fed
For while his country's call is just
AS thrilling To his mind,
The arms that lie about him now
Are OF a peaceful kind.
