MARCHING FORTH TO WAR.

1t grand to be soldier and go swinging down
the street
at your feet
While the girls along the sidewalk waved to you
fond good-by,
And the prettes of them. maybe, had tear drop in
her eye.
Bands were playing flags waving when the army
marched away,
1t glorious and thrilling but it's pretty grim today
Down the streets you file at midnight, not soul to
hear,
Not strain of martial music not fluter not cheer
No one there to breathe blessing, the you
go to fight,
Or to wish you all the glory of battle for the right
Gloom and silence all around you, gloom and silence
before.
All it sure does take hero thus to march away to
war.
1t was fine to be soldier when the ship sailed down
the bay
And the shore lined with people come to watch
you sail away
How the whistles shreked and shouted or the boats
that passed you by,
How the echoing farewell salvos until they reach
ed the sky
How you thought of deeds of valor as you watched
the vessels bow
Cut the waves that tumbled seaward Ahl it's grim
mer business now
In the darkness of the morning just before the break
of dawn
On the silent decks you huddle as the vessel hur-
One by one you see the fading of the lights along
the shore,
And you hear the swash and rustic of the water,
Like an exile you must stand there and look out
across the foam.
Ali it takes heart of iron thus to sail away from
home.
