The Call |
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! |
