Edgar Guest - The March O` Man
Work rating: Low

Down to work o` mornings, an` back to home at nights,
Down to hours o` labor, an` home to sweet delights;
Down to care an` trouble, an` home to love an` rest,
With every day a good one, an` every evening blest.

Down to dreary dollars, an` back to home to play,
From love to work an` back to love, so slips the day away.
From babies back to business an` back to babes again,
From parting kiss to welcome kiss, this marks the march o` men.

Some care between our laughter, a few hours filled with strife,
A time to stand on duty, then home to babes and wife;
The bugle sounds o` mornings to call us to the fray,
But sweet an` low `tis love that calls us home at close o` day.
