III just rise me head from the pillow
and say, TO hell wild yer revielle' and
thin I'll go to sleep again"
A few days ago ! saw some rhymes
written by a Mississippi man about to
leave the border as you have just
done; and it struck me as so aptly
expressing the natural feeling, under
all the circumstances, that, tho not
entirely apropOs, I'm going to read 1t
TO you:
Ive'done my bit on the border,
Still I'm not tired yet
I've had my fill of the border.
OF Creasers and strangers, I've met.
I've drank of the Rio Grande,
I've grubbed mesquite in the cursed
heat,
The Lord never made that landD
I've seen all there is to the border
I've felt all there is to feel
I've done my time in a sea of slime,
I've lost all they didn't seal.
I've done my bit on the border,
I've hiked and sweat in the heat and
wet,
I've lain in the dust and enawed a
crust,
At Funsten's Judgment seat
I've eaten my meals with reptiles
I've quartered with bugs galore
In the land where things all are
made with stings,
From the trees to the rug on the floor.
I've carried a pack in the Jungle,
Till it cut me down to the blood;
I've sweltered and lay like a thing of
clay,
In a slithering swamp of mud.
Eve risen at five in the morning
At the sound of the reveille,
I've shaved all day for newsboys pay
Till the night would set me free.
I've lived the life of a soldier
No chance to beat it" or shirk--
And the life of a soldier, believe me,
Is little but damned hard work.
I've eaten the food of a soldier,
Hardtack and Mulligan stew
Bacon and beans-and a touch of
greens
But Lord, they were scare and few
I've followed the flag of my country
In Khaki and plain O. ID.
And up to date I'm standing straight
In way that is good to see.
I've done my bit on the border,
I've had my fill Of the game
But / wouldn't trade the friends I've
made
For all I've lost in the same.
I've had my fill of the border.
OF Greasers ard border men,
I've done my bit and l stand to quit
And never take on again.
But / seem to know, when the bugles
blow
And | hear the reveille
That my blood will heat and my pulses
beat,
No matter where | he;
And I'll yearn to go with n burning
yearn
That only the soldier knows,
At the bugle's call-hard- tack and all
To face my Countrys fOes
