A MARCH MOTTO, by                     Poet's Biography
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.
