I heard this day as I may no more	A
The world's heart throb at my workshop door	A
The sun was keen and the day was still	B
The township drowsed in a haze of heat	C
A stir far off on the sleepy hill	B
The measured beat of their buoyant feet	C
And the lilt and thrum	D
Of a little drum	D
The song they sang in a cadence low	E
The piping note of a piccolo	E
	-
The township woke and the doors flew wide	F
The women trotted their boys beside	F
Across the bridge on a single heel	G
The soldiers came in a golden glow	E
With throb of song and the chink of steel	G
The gallant crow of the piccolo	E
Good and brown they were	H
And their arms swung bare	I
Their fine young faces revived in me	D
A boyhood's vision of chivalry	D
	-
The lean hard regiment tramping down	J
Bushies miners and boys from town	J
From 'mid the watchers the road along	K
One fell in line with the khaki men	L
He took the stride and he caught their song	K
And Steve went then and Meneer and Ben	L
Long Dave McCree	D
And the Weavers three	D
All whisked away by the Come Come Come	D
The lusty surge of the vaunting drum	D
	-
I swore a prayer for each soldier lad	M
He was the son that might have had	M
The tall bold boy who was never mine	N
All brave with dust that the eyes laughed through	O
His shoulders square and his chin in line	N
Was marching too with the gallant few	O
Passed the muffled beat	C
Of their swanking feet	C
The swell of drum the exulting crow	E
The wild bird note of the piccolo	E
	-
They dipped away in the listless trees	P
A mother wept on her beaded knees	P
For sons gone out to the long war's end	Q
But more than mother or man wept I	R
Who had no son in the world to send	Q
The hour lagged by and drifting high	R
Came the fitful hum	D
Of the little drum	D
And faint but still with an ardent flow	E
The pibroch call of the piccolo	E
