I'll give the last drop, while the hoof of the Hun

Polluted and cloven in Alsace remains:

Until France is free we must fight: every one!

Of course I'll go back to the trenches again:

My wound is fast healing and soon will be sound;

Six chevrons have I, but I'll fight with the men

Who fill up the shell-holes like moles in the ground.

I'll charge with the Boys when they hurdle the top,

The Tri-color lashed to my half-useless arm,

With pistol or sword in my hand, till I drop:
