AN OLD SONG TO 4 NEW TUNE

AN OLO SO!NS ~ Il NEW IONE
While the nation; are a-scowlng,
Don't forget the way to smile
When the dogs Of war are growing,
Keep a gentle voice the while.
Absent boys and anxious mothers
Need the cheer of elder brothers:
Fill your heart with love for Others;
Let your liver hold your bile
While The wounded world IS raging,
Keep your own brow calm and clear.
War is war, but while it.: wsging,
Are you asked for snarl or sneerp
Leave the evil 10 the kaiser;
Let some other one be miser
OF the kind words. Be you wiser!
Spend them broadcast, far and near
No, the reyel and the roister
Not the hollow laugh points how;
Not the mumbles Of the cloi5ier.
Not the bowed and bea,en brow.
But when souls are dark and fearful,
Wren 20 many eyes are fearful,
H-aJs held high and hearts kept cheerful
Help The whole world here and now.
