To keep my eye upon that German flag

And wonder will they run or will they stand;

To watch their Uhlans forming up below,

And feel a queersome way that's like to fear;

To hope to God that I won't make a show,

And that my throat is not too dry to cheer;

To close my eyes a breath and say "God bless

And keep all safe at home, and aid us win,"

Then straighten as the bugle sounds "Right, Dress...."

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! We're going in!
