Back amid the underbrush
The native planter dwells
Those deIls where bRt a few days past
The angry cannon roared
And where the haughty Spaniard cast
To earth his blood sword.
In evenings hour of quietness
Fond thoughts are on the mind
OF q nation and her gratitude
And loved ones left behind
For in our slumbers we can see
The loved ones left at home
And lonk far back across the sea
Where pillows dash and foam.
Beneath the dark banana trees
The guards their vigils keep
While upon the barrack hunks
The soldiers go to sleep.
