Mine is a snarl of hate and strife!

The mad red snarl of hate and strife.

I sing! sing! sing! the wrathful warrior’s song.

Then ping! ping! ping! ’tis the wrathful warrior’s wrong.

I red in the heart of the foe,

Fulfilling the warrior’s woe.

But this I see before I go—

A beauty blackening battle’s show;

Pictures of home in heart and brain

That blot and blank in my war’s refrain.
