We've sniffed the green thick odour of his breath,-<br> | |||
Our eyes wept, but our courage didn't writhe.<br> | |||
He's spat at us with bullets and he's coughed<br> | |||
Shrapnel. We chorussed when he sang aloft,<br> | |||
We whistled while he shaved us with his scythe.<br> | |||

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!<br> | |||
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.<br> | |||
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.<br> | |||
We laughed, -knowing that better men would come,<br> | |||
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags<br> | |||
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags. <br> | |||
