Soldier Poets who have fallen in the War
To Odin's challenge we cried, Amen!
We stayed the plough and laid by the pen
And shouldered our guns like gentlemen,
That the wiser weak should hold....
Then lift the flag of the Last Crusade,
And fill the ranks of the Last Brigade!
March on to the fields where the world's remade
And the Ancient Dreams come true!
