When the battlefield is silent.
You can go with careful tread
You a bear away the wounded.
You can owe up the dead.
not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do:
Fortune is a lazy goddess
She will never come to you.
Go and toll within life's vineyard;
Do not fear to do or dare
If you want a field of labor
You can find it anywhere.
