ghizela rowe - julian grenfell - into battle كلمات أغنية
the naked earth is warm with spring
and with green grass and bursting trees
leans to the sun’s gaze glorying
and quivers in the sunny breeze;
and life is colour and warmth and light
and a striving evermore for these;
and he is dead who will not fight
and who dies fighting has increase
the fighting man shall from the sun
take warmth, and life from glowing earth;
speed with the light_foot winds to run
and with the trees to newer birth;
and find, when fighting shall be done
great rest, and fulness after dearth
all the bright company of heaven
hold him in their bright comradeship
the dog star, and the sisters seven
orion’s belt and sworded hip:
the woodland trees that stand together
they stand to him each one a friend;
they gently speak in the windy weather;
they guide to valley and ridges end
the kestrel hovering by day
and the little owls that call by night
bid him be swift and keen as they
as keen of ear, as swift of sight
the blackbird sings to him: “brother, brother
if this be the last song you shall sing
sing well, for you may not sing another;
brother, sing.”
in dreary doubtful waiting hours
before the brazen frenzy starts
the horses show him n0bler powers; —
o patient eyes, courageous hearts!
and when the burning moment breaks
and all things else are out of mind
and only joy of battle takes
him by the throat and makes him blind
through joy and blindness he shall know
not caring much to know, that still
nor lead nor steel shall reach him, so
that it be not the destined will
the thundering line of battle stands
and in the air death moans and sings;
but day shall clasp him with strong hands
and night shall fold him in soft wings
