COMRADES
|
|
COMRADES,
pour the wine to-night
For the parting is with dawn!
Oh, the clink of cups together,
With the daylight coming on!
Greet the morn |
5 |
With
a double horn,
When strong men drink together!
Comrades,
gird your swords to-night,
For the battle is with dawn!
Oh, the clash of shields together,
|
10 |
With
the triumph coming on!
Greet the foe,
And lay him low,
When strong men fight together!
Comrades,
watch the tides to-night,
|
15 |
For
the sailing is with dawn!
Oh, to face the spray together,
With the tempest coming on!
Greet the sea
With a shout of glee, |
20 |
When
strong men roam together!
Comrades,
give a cheer to-night,
For the dying is with dawn!
Oh, to meet the stars together,
With the silence coming on!
|
25 |
Greet
the end
As a friend a friend,
When strong men die together! |
