| Far and near, high and clear
|
| Hark to the call of War
|
| Over the gorse and the golden dells
|
| Ringing and swinging the clamorous bells
|
| Praying and saying of wild farewells:
|
| War! |
| War! |
| War!
|
| High and low, all must go:
|
| Hark to the shout of War!
|
| Leave to the women the harvest yield;
|
| Gird ye, men, for the sinister field;
|
| A sabre instead of a scythe to wield;
|
| War! |
| Red war!
|
| Rich and poor, lord and boor
|
| Hark to the blast of War!
|
| Tinker and tailor and millionaire
|
| Actor in triumph and priest in prayer
|
| Comrades now in the hell out there
|
| Sweep to the fire of War!
|
| Prince and page, sot and sage
|
| Hark to the roar of War!
|
| Poet, professor and circus clown
|
| Chimney-sweep and fop of the town
|
| Into the pot and be melted down:
|
| Into the pot of War!
|
| Women all, hear the call
|
| The pitiless call of War!
|
| Look your last on your dearest ones
|
| Brothers and husbands, fathers, sons:
|
| Swift they go to the ravenous guns
|
| The gluttonous guns of War
|
| Everywhere thrill the air
|
| The maniac bells of War
|
| There will be little of sleeping to-night;
|
| There will be wailing and weeping to-night;
|
| Death’s red sickle is reaping to-night:
|
| War! |
| War! |
| War!
|
| War! |
| War! |
| War!
|
| War! |
| War! |
| War! |
| War!
|
| War! |
| War! |
| War! |
| War!
|
| War! |
| War! |
| War! |
| War!
|
| War! |
| War! |
| War! |
| War! |
