Now gird thee well for courageA
My knight of twenty yearB
Against the marching morrowsC
That fill the world with fearB
-
The flowers fade before themD
The summer leaves the hillE
Their trumpets range the morningF
And those who hear grow stillE
-
Like pillagers of harvestG
Their fame is far abroadH
As gray remorseless troopersC
That plunder and maraudH
-
The dust is on their corseletsC
Their marching fills the worldI
With conquest after conquestJ
Their banners are unfurledI
-
They overthrow the battlesC
Of every lord of warK
From world dominioned citiesC
Wipe out the names they boreK
-
Sohrab Rameses RolandL
Ramoth Napoleon TyreM
And the Romeward Huns of AttilaN
Alas for their desireO
-
By April and by autumnP
They perish in their prideQ
And still they close and gatherO
Out of the mountain sideQ
-
The tanned and tameless childrenR
Of the wild elder earthS
With stature of the northlightsC
They have the stars for girthS
-
There's not a hand to stay themD
Of all the hearts that braveT
No captain to undo themD
No cunning to off staveT
-
Yet fear thou not If haplyN
Thou be the kingly oneR
They'll set thee in their vanguardU
To lead them round the sunR
