This is the song of the gun
The muttering, suffering gun,
The m~addening, gladdening gun:
That chuckles with evil glee
At the last long dive of the Hun.
With its end in eternity
Hey hol For the gun!
~
This is the song of the air
The lifting, drifting air,
The eddying, steadying air,
The wine Of its limitless space:
May it nerve US at last to dare
Even death with undaunted facet
Hey hol For the air!
