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