It's a very noble calling To rise with gun in hand. . While the men like leaves are falling. For the honor of the land. But remonrber. there's the glory, . When the battle has been won. To be praised in song and story As "the man behind the gun.". There's another sort of hero. And of him the poet's pen-. Never writerh. He s but zero In the book of "Noble Men." Not for gallant leeds in war meant, Yet, with temper in command, He must suffer mental torment Nor so much as raise his hand. , -Though his enemies should blind him. He must let it gotat thait In the theatre you 11 find him He's "the man behind the hat." |
