Trudge on we must !
Strive on we shall !
One more day done !
Tomorrow lies in wait !
Glee fills us at times !
Sunshine other days !
Laughter, ours is eternal !
Dark clouds won't  prevail !

They said ,
Arise awake and conquer !
Stop not till work is heeded !

We replied ,
Our all to the suffering !
Death for many was defeated !

Solace in art she got !
Words had him comforted !
In service for someone to live !
They had their days limited !

Yet onwards to arms they went !
Valuable jewelry round the neck !
Hopeful the servitude was important !
Smiling faces on a weary back !
