UNKNOWN COMRADE, by                    
First Line: We give no word of greeting
Last Line: We follow the same star!


We give no word of greeting,
No clasp of eager hand;
We meet as strangers meeting
In any foreign land.
Unspoken word and fleeting
Glance we understand.

Lost here in bitter weather,
We clutch the self-same spar;
Bereft of sail and rudder,
Wrecked sailors that we are,
Apart and yet together
We follow the same star!
