Edgar Guest - Along The Paths O` GloryEdgar Guest - Along The Paths O` Glory
Work rating: Low


Along the paths o` glory there are faces new to-day, There are youthful hearts and sturdy that have found the westward way. From the rugged roads o` duty they have turned without a sigh, To mingle with their brothers who were not afraid to die. And they`re looking back and smiling at the loved ones left behind, With the Old Flag flying o`er them, and they`re calling "Never mind. "Never mind, oh, gentle mothers, that we shall not come again; Never mind the years of absence, never mind the days of pain, For we`ve found the paths o` glory where the flags o` freedom fly, And we`ve learned the things we died for are the truths that never die. Now there`s never hurt can harm us, and the years will never fade The memory of the soldiers of the legions unafraid." Along the paths o` glory there are faces new to-day, And the heavenly flags are flying as they march along the way; For the world is safe from hatred; men shall know it at its best By the sacrifice and courage of the boys who go to rest. Now they`ve claimed eternal splendor and they`ve won eternal youth, And they`ve joined the gallant legions of the men who served the truth.
