UNDER the stars the armies lie asleep	A
Between the lines a quiet river flows	B
Through brakes of honeysuckle and of rose	B
And fields where poppies droop in languor deep	A
The night as with a mantle now enfolds	B
The muffled forms upon the pasture low	C
The scent of thyme comes down across the wolds	B
And on the roses of the dark hedgerow	D
The summer starlight falls in flakes of silver snow	C
	-
Here from the wooded haunt of nymph and fawn	E
The hidden guns peer forth across the hills	B
Their wheels are on the trampled daffodils	B
And so they wait the coming of the dawn	E
In dappled shadows where the fairy weaves	B
On grasses tall his web of sparkling lace	B
The gunners lie their heads upon the sheaves	B
White falls the moon on many a sunburnt face	B
That ere the day shall feel another God's embrace	B
	-
Among the barrows of the sunken plain	F
Where sleep the soldiers of another day	G
On misty meadow and on upland gray	G
On many eyes that close but once again	H
The peaceful earth her benediction throws	B
The waves of healing music from the streams	B
That though the willows softly comes and goes	B
And now the face of all the country seems	B
A mirror consecrated to an army's dreams	B
	-
From far away is borne a woman's pray'r	D
To Ares restless in his iron crown	I
'Sleep Ares Sleep For once the dice are thrown	J
Empires to thee are leaves upon the air	D
Ere all the homes go smoking to the skies	B
And men are swept upon the battle blast	K
Ere all the tears are wept from women's eyes	B
O Queen of Love hold now the Lover fast	K
And let him taste eternal anodyne at last '	-
	-
But with the dawn there comes a soldier's song	L
'When all the guns have fired their last salute	M
And the tongues of all the world are mute	M
And life is dearer than to right a wrong	L
Then may he weary of his burnng wine	N
And rest forever in the arms divine	N
Of Aphrodite passionate and pale	O
But Hark He comes Hail Ares Lord of Thunder Hail	O
	-
'He rides above the ocean and the snow	C
His trail is on the curtain of the skies	B
Brighter than dawn his young eternal eyes	B
Shine in the eyes of Valour far below	C
Now Mammon hides beneath his trembling halls	B
While Honour marches singing into war	D
On strange forgotten hearts a radiance falls	B
As ever nearer burning from afar	D
The sword of Ares gleams above the morning star '	-
	-
'The other gods are weaker thou alone	J
Dost break the king and bend the emperor's knee	P
Lower than unto Christ they bow to thee	P
Lord of the slave and guardian of the free	P
Steel hearted Ares shaker of the throne	J
Young god of battle restless lover hail	O
For once a man has seen thine eyes aflame	Q
And mounted on the horses of the gale	O
Death is a nothing life an empty name	Q
Arise and lead us ere our blood be tame	Q
O lord of thunder Arcs of the crimson mail '	-
