Soldier going to the war-- <br />Will you take my heart with you, <br />So that I may share a little <br />In the famous things you do? <br /> <br />Soldier going to the war-- <br />If in battle you must fall, <br />Will you, among all the faces, <br />See my face the last of all? <br /> <br />Soldier coming from the war-- <br />Who shall bind your sunburnt brow <br />With the laurel of the hero, <br />Soldier, soldier--vow for vow! <br /> <br />Soldier coming from the war-- <br />When the street is one wide sea, <br />Flags and streaming eyes and glory-- <br />Soldier, will you look for me?<br /><br />Richard Le Gallienne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/soldier-going-to-the-war/
