Edith Nesbit - At The Sound Of The Drum
Work rating: Low

ARE you going for a soldier with your curly yellow hair, 
And a scarlet coat instead of the smock you used to wear? 
Are you going to drive the foe as you used to drive the plough? 
        Are you going for a soldier now? 


I am going for a soldier, and my tunic is of red 
And I`m tired of woman`s chatter, and I`ll hear the drum instead; 
I will break the fighting line as you broke your plighted vow, 
        For I`m going for a soldier now. 


For a soldier, for a soldier are you sure that you will go, 
To hear the drums a-beating and to hear the bugles blow? 
I`ll make you sweeter music, for I`ll swear another vow-- 
        Are you going for a soldier now? 


I am going for a soldier if you`d twenty vows to make; 
You must get another sweetheart, with another heart to break, 
For I`m sick of lies and women and the harrow and the plough, 
        And I`m going for a soldier now!
