Cheer Up! Have You Forgottenf

\GTdutlAuO ftlCel.
There's snow and rain and roaring wind
That drives in sudden squirt;
But the walls are .hick and the floor is dry
And the steam heat doesn't hurt;
And ponder this as you pike along
Where winters lash is drawn,
That no one slogs through the midnight mud
To die at the front at dawn.
You have known what the long hike meant,
Where the deadly road was marked,
Where an endless rain came out of the night
And the seventy sevens barked.
What do you care for the winter gale!
Why do you mind the mire
Where no one waits for the last barrage
To start for the blasted wire?
Half way up to your knees in mud
With full pack on your back,
Twenty miles in a slogging march
To start with the next attack
So what II the streets are slush and snow
Where the winter furies swan,
Where no one drives for the Oureu or Meuse
To fall in the charge at dawn?

It's fun to besa tourist
And with the tourists stand,
A happy smile upon your face.

To climb these mountain waliS,
To visit countless canyons
With streams and waterfalls;
To see them all, then gaily

And in the old Pacific

And at the graceful peppers
Slow swaying in the breeze.

To send to friends Of old lang syne
