Lead
hear 0 hear us, Lord of the harvest,
to us the pathway of sunlight,
for the sun the prison of raincloud,
us afar from Loki's oppression.
Light we demand, nought else can assuage us.
Sacred our vows 'neath the tree we'll be taking,
Then shout we all the songs of battle,
Hurling the blade of battle high to the heavens.
Once we had sunlight, now darkness engulfs us;
We were united, but now we are scattered;
Once we had freedom now we are shackled;
Once we were happy, now we are weeping.
Help us or we shall suffer destruction;
Better to die as heroes in battle;
Forward my brothers and wave high your banners;
. Songs of our vows will give us strength for the combat!
Troopers are storming, thunder is rolling,
See how the walls 'neath the onslaught are falling,
Crumbling, and crashing, their songs are resounding,
The conquerors are shouting the victory of the sun.
BOOTS
We're foot slog-slog-slog-sloggin'
over Africa.
Foot-foot-foot-sloggin'
over Africa.
Boots-boots-boots-boots-movin'
up and down again.
There's no discharge in the war.
Seven, six, eleven, five nine and twenty miles today,
Four, eleven, seventeen, thirty-two the day before.
Boots-boots-boots-boots-movin'
up and down again.
There's no discharge in the war.
Don't-don't-don't-don't
look at what's in front of you,
Boots-boots-boots-boots-movin'
up and down again.
Men-men-men-men-men
go mad in watch in' 'em,
An' there's no discharge in the war.
SCARLET SARAFAN
Mother don't attempt to sew the Scarlet Sarafan,
For thy effort would be useless and thy labor vain.
Daughter cease thy folly and do not talk so fast,
Know that youth's gay morning will not always last.
Though thou art so merry and so much at ease,
Song will fail to cheer thee and the dance to please.
When at length the roses from thy cheeks do flee,
Youth with all its pleasures seems but vanity.
Do not smile but give an ear to what thy mother says,
Rapidly youth's bloom is past and beauty soon decays,
Yet when thee I see and look on I am young again.
Sing and dance, but with thy trifling cause me no more pain.
Count---count-count-count-the
bullets in the bandoliers.
If your eyes drop, they will get a-top 0' you.
Boots-boots-boots-boots-movin'
up and down again.
There's no discharge in the war.
TWILIGHT
As with a veil of purest white
Its petals down to-gether prest,
The lily nods the world good night,
The cochineal now seeks its rest.
We can stick out 'unger, thirst, and weariness,
But-not-not-not-not
the chronic sight of 'em.
Boots-boots-boots-boots-movin'
up and down again.
An' there's no discharge in the war.
Until the dawn's first rosy beam,
Soft cradled in its fragrant nest,
As peaceful as a virgin's dream,
The cochineal now lies at rest.
'Taint so bad by day because 0' company,
But night brings long strings 0' forty thousand million
Boots-boots-boots-boots-movin'
up and down again.
There's no discharge in the war.
The lily but a moment sleeps,
Come, sweet, and lean upon my breast
And speak of love till morning peeps,
The while the cochineal lies at rest.
I 'ave marched six weeks in 'Ell and certify
It is not fire, devil's dark or anything, but
Boots-boots-boots-boots-movin'
up and down again.
And there's no discharge in the war.
SYLVELIN
o Sylvelin,
God's own blessing be on you the whole day through.
Thine eyes so blue, thy face so fair, and red the lips of you.
As sun-beams upon the meadow, when morn drives the gloom of night,
You have brought cheer to my mind opprest, my sorrowful heart made
light.
Sylvelin, in all my prayers at night I remember you,
God's blessing be on you ever, he knows your heart is true.
