They are masters of the fortress.
They have chained me in their goal
They have barred my way with roses,
They have bound me, heart and

They are camped upon the carpet,
And they charge me on the stair,
With their flies of silver laughter
And their swords of golden hairi
Though the Captain is a maiden,
Though the Major is youth,
am leaguered in their gladness,
] am captive to their truth;
They are soldiers of the morning
On the golden hills of CLEAN,
To be locked IN arms of dream!
They are outposts of the meadow,
They are guardsmeH of the field;
They are couriers of beauty,
With the lily for a shield;
They are runners of the greenwood,
They are sentries of the lawn,
With their lips on morning glories
Blowing trumpets to the dawn!
Little Captain; darling Major
Clasp and keep me; l am thine!

Round my old, old neck entwiRe!
