lirik lagu into battle by julian grenfell - the war poetry society
the naked earth is warm with spring
and with green grass and bursting trees
leans to the sun’s kiss glorying
and quivers in the loving breeze;
and life is colour and warmth and light
and a striving evermore for these;
and he is dead who will not fight;
and who dies fighting has increase
the fighting man shall from the sun
take warmth, and life from the glowing earth;
speed with the light~foot winds to run
and with the trees a newer birth;
and when his fighting shall be done
great rest, and fullness after dearth
all the bright company of heaven
hold him in their high comradeship
the dog~star, and the sisters seven
orion’s belt and sworded hip
the woodland trees that stand together
they stand to him each one a friend;
they gently speak in the windy weather
they guide to valley and ridge’s end
the kestrel hovering by day
and the little owls that call by night
bid him swift and keen as they
as keen of ear, as swift of sight
the blackbird sings to him ‘brother, brother
if this be the last song you shall sing
sing well, for you will not sing another;
brother, sing!’
in dreary, doubtful, waiting hours
before the brazen frenzy starts
the horses show him n0bler powers;
o patient eyes, courageous hearts!
and when the burning moment breaks
and all things else are out of mind
and only joy of battle takes
him by the throat, and makes him blind
through joy and blindness he shall know
not caring much to know, that still
nor lead nor steel shall reach him, so
that is be not the destined will
the thundering line of battle stands
and in the air death moans and sings;
but day shall clasp him with strong hands
and night shall fold him in soft wings
