"The Soldiers Farewell to his Bride," William Rees Poem, undated

The Soldiers

Farewell to his Bride

I must part the soldiers duty

Calls me to the field

Take this likeness and be cheerful

God will be our shield.

all around the drum is sounding

all around they come

Never never couldst thou love me

if I'd stay at home

Chorus

In his heart thy image

will forever dwell

But our country's voice is calling

let us say farewell

Laurels might

surround my forehead

if again we meet

they will be our wedding bouquet

Laid before thy feet
