What should I indite
For their valorousness?
Words can't cite
How they fight in duskiness.
Death growls and roars;
Out of barracks they flow
And forget their shores
And the beautiful bride's glow.
The children's voice is heard
When the bullets pierce them;
Like mountaineers in a herd
They march on, untiring, lame.
They don't stop until it's fate
Some flowers on their caskets
And profound salute they get
And their empty names in prints
