THE VOLUNTEERS
From fields of toil and fields of play,
Wherever surged the game of life,
All eager for the mightier fray,
They sped them to the clashing strife ---
To fight the fight, to heal the hurt,
To sail the chartless tracts of air,
Eyes forward, head and heart alert,
To pay their undemanded share.
For so their Ancient Mother taught,
And so they learned it at her knee ---
Where mercy, peril, death are wrought,
There, in the tuck of things, to be.
And thus they wage, with every nerve,
The great day's work --- nor that alone,
But, 'neath what flag soe'er they serve,
Brighten the colors of their own.
