For never night shall thrill with joy

Nor day be free from gloom

Until once more our soldier boy

Shall occupy his room.


Envy

It's a bigger thing you're doing than the most of us have done;

We have lived the days of pleasure; now the gray days have begun,

And upon your manly shoulders fall the burdens of the strife;

Yours must be the sacrifices of the trial time of life.
