A MARCH MOTTO by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: MONTH OF BLUSTER, ICE AND SLEET
Last Line: "FORWARD, MARCH!"" THROUGH ALL THE YEAR."
Subject(s): MARCH (MONTH);

Month of bluster, ice and sleet,
Silent wood and ugly street,
Winds that roar and flakes that fly,
Frozen earth and gloomy sky, --
Angry March, thy name to me
Like a battle-cry shall be!
"Forward, march!" but leave behind
Stubborn will and stupid mind.
"Forward, march!" and sing a song
As we stoutly march along.
"Forward, march!" away from sin;
"Forward, march!" the goal to win;
"Forward, march!" without a fear;
"Forward, march!" through all the year.
