LIFE is a trifle; Honor is all; Shoulder the rifle; Answer the call. @3"A nation of traders"! We'll show what we are, Freedom's crusaders Who war against war.@1 Battle is tragic; Battle shall cease; Ours is the magic Mission of Peace. Gladly we barter Gold of our youth For Liberty's charter Blood-sealed in truth. Sons of the granite, Strong be our stroke, Making this planet Safe for all folk. Life is but passion, Sunshine on dew. Forward to fashion The old world anew! @3"A nation of traders"! We'll show what we are, Freedom's crusaders Who war against war.@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MINOR POET by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET SHERMAN by RICHARD WATSON GILDER THE GREEN LINNET by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH SPRING THOUGHTS by FLORENCE E.
