Alfred Noyes - VeteransAlfred Noyes - Veterans
Work rating: Low


When the last charge sounds     And the battle thunders o`er the plain, Thunders o`er the trenches where the red streams flow,     Will it not be well with us,       Veterans, veterans, If, beneath your torn old flag, we burst upon the foe? When the last post sounds     And the night is on the battle-field, Night and rest at last from all the tumult of our wars,     Will it not be well with us,       Veterans, veterans, If, with duty done like yours, we lie beneath the stars? When the great réveillé sounds     For the terrible last Sabbath, All the legions of the dead shall hear the trumpet ring!     Will it not be well with us,       Veterans, veterans, If, beneath your torn old flag, we rise to meet our King?
