lie made himself a club and fought
The foe that strayed within his reach.
He fought for shelter or for food;
He fought to conquer or to die.
He loved his own, though fierce his mood,
And when he fought he We'll knew why.
AS time has marched the bugle note
Resounds instead of natures growl.

The battle is q fearful show.
Primeval man was rude and grim,
But when he met and slew a foe
He knew just why he hated him.
