The Vision of Angus McNab
_____ . _____
As he sat at the fire & warmed his shoes
Angus McNab fell into a doze
and he found himself on a stricken field
where the thunderous voice of the cannon feeled.
He sets the Camerons, sore Beset,
Wounded & Blood, but fighting yet.
Shattered & by that hellish fire,
Yet filled to the last with a fierce desire.
To keep the post from the prussian Horde,
Wave on wave like a flood outpoured,
Man by man the Camerons fall,
But our Guns are silent throughout it all.
Up dashes a paintinf gunner & tellsm
Shells, for the love of God, man, shells.
Nay says Angus, "ye're in ma power
And I want my Extra twopence an hour,
"Man are you mad?" the Gunner said,
But a prussian bullet ...smote him dead,
And in flowing tide, the man in grey
Steadily kept its onward way.
Angus McNab awakes with a start
For it seemed as if something had clutched his heart.
Swiftly he reaches his coat & hat
"Eh, but there'll be .nae.. .mair .. o'that"
On the races without a ..stop..
Till he comes to the door of the ship.
He thinks of the wasted days gone by
And the hears the challenging striker's
P.T.O. cry,
