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! |
