Rhyme Scheme: ABBCC ADDAD EFGFHH| Comrades of risk and rigour long ago | A |
| Who have done battle under honour's name | B |

| And wooed bright Danger for a thrilling kiss | C |
| Laugh oh laugh well that we have come to this | C |

| Laugh oh laugh loud all ye who long ago | A |

| Life like a cinder fading black at last | H |
