| Apart sweet women for whom Heaven be blessed | B |
| Comrades you cannot think how thin and blue | C |
| Look the leftovers of mankind that rest | B |
| Now that the cream has been skimmed off in you | C |
| War has its horrors but has this of good | D |
| That its sure processes sort out and bind | E |
| Brave hearts in one intrepid brotherhood | D |
| And leave the shams and imbeciles behind | E |
| Now turn we joyful to the great attacks | F |
| Not only that we face in a fair field | G |
| Our valiant foe and all his deadly tools | H |
| But also that we turn disdainful backs | F |
| On that poor world we scorn yet die to shield | G |
| That world of cowards hypocrites and fools | H |
