And talk to the nan in the shade"

And point out the places to wade.
But once we pass into the shadows
We murmur and fret and frown,

Or throw up our hands and go down.
II is easy TO sit in your carriage
And counsel the man on foot:
But get back and walk and you'll

Wait till the war is over
We hear from day to day
Wait till the victor slaughters
His hordes of human prey.
Little we know as we long and wait
The terrible death that's a soldiers
fate.

For comrades lost tho far away.
We kick and whine about times so

We figure our lot in this life so sad
But stick and watch what Ely will be
When the wars are history across the
