Stuck in 'eavy marchin'-order, sopped and wringin' --
 Sick, before our time to watch 'er 'eave an' fall,
'Ere's your 'appy 'ome at last, an' stop your singin'.

Cheer! For we'll never live to see no bloomin' victory!

Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon. ...Read more of this...

Leaving a glimmer of water in the dark canyons,
And silver falling from eave and tree.

One, from his high bright window, looking down,
Peers like a dreamer over the rain-bright town,
And thinks its towers are like a dream.
The western windows flame in the sun's last flare,
Pale roofs begin to gleam.

Looking down from a window high in a wall
He sees us all;
Lifting our pallid faces towards the rain,
