A sound liko the gathering thunder A roar in the silent dark. A flash, a rattle and silence. Then out in the distance Hark I Is it a whistle, or portent That called us from sleep when it blew? Be quiet, my heart, and listen' To a troop-train going through! This is no royal deception, This is no empty boast. Laden and ready for action They're pounding from coast to coast. The linos are clear for their passage, We're routing them over to you, Ton-millions ready, O Kaiser! Our troop-trains all go through. An eager young face at each window Watching the land slide by The land of their birth and loving, The faith for which they'll die. Strong and stern those faces, But merry, ardent, and true! God grant them a safo returning, But first speed the troop-trains through! |
