The Soldier
The bitter war is raging the soldier's heart is stirred
To the call of duty when the bugle note is heard
He has left a home, & perhaps a wife
For the battlefield, amid the din & strife
Perhaps a dear sweetheart that he bade good bye
Or a loving mother left at home to sigh
Or the sorry parting a fond lips would press
Will they meet again tongue can never guess
This is not the time to think, or even pause
England must advance for honour and a cause
There will be a sacrifice of many thousand men
When the roll is called, the sorrow will be then
In stirrup or the trench they will fight the foe
Victory or death, onward they must go
Weather it is charge with bayonet or the gun
They will face the foe, danger they not shun
There is British pluck as in the days of yore
When our gallant heroes faced the cannons roar
England will be proud when the day is won
And will honour men for deeds that they have done
Such tales will be unfolded then
How they fought like Englishmen
With men like these we'll never lack
None can take out Union Jack
God save the King
