The camp fire burns high and Provisions carried from home are passed about. Laughing faces of the unyet tested, The over morale of an Emperors finest legion Marching into Gaulic lands With heads held high.
Spirits are soaring and blessings are passed, And the fluttering thoughts of home are flower painted. Perhaps I will be back before the July sun Bakes my armored back, Perhaps I will be back to attend to Love And its reaping yield Before a burning sun alters my heart.
