In the city square at night, the meeting of the torches.
The start of the great march,
The cries, the cheers, the parting.
Marching in an order
Through the familiar streets,
Through friends for the last time seen.
Marching with torches.
Over the hill summit,
The moon and the moor,
And we marching alone.
The torches are out.
On the cold hill,
The cheers of the warrior dead
(For the first time re-seen)
Marching in an order
To where?
