With a tin hat over your Ivory
And a rifle clutched In your fist;

Say, aren't the things you think of
Knough to give you ii 11 ikht
Things you ain't even tin light of
For a couple o' months <>.• more;
Things that 'nil make your sore:
Tilings that ' u 111 make your sore;
Things that you saw iu the movies.
Things that you saw on the street,
Thing* Hint you're really proud of,
Things thait an- not so sweet;
Iivlits thai are past collcctin',
Stories yon hear and forget,
Hull games and lilrtllday parlies,
Hours of drill In the wet;
Headlines, recruitln' posters,
Sunset way out at sen,
Evenings of pay-days golly—
It's ;l i|iiccr thing. this memory!
Faces of pals In Hotnoburg,
Voices of Womenfolk,
Verses you learnt In school-days
Pop up In the mist and smoke
As you stand there, grippin' that rifle.

When will the war be over
When Will the enng- break through?

What will there be to do?
