Listen now this time	A
Shortly to my rhyme	A
That herewith starts	B
About certain kind hearts	B
In those stricken parts	B
That lie behind Calais	C
Old crones and aged men	D
And young children	E
About the Picardais	C
Who earned my thousand thanks	C
Dwellers by the banks	C
Of mournful Somme	A
God keep me therefrom	A
Until War ends	C
These then are my friends	C
Madame Averlant Lune	E
From the town of Bethune	E
Good Professeur la Brune	E
From that town also	C
He played the piccolo	C
And left his locks to grow	C
Dear Madame Hojdes	C
Sempstress of Saint Fe	C
With Jules and Susette	F
And Antoinette	F
Her children my sweethearts	C
For whom I made darts	C
Of paper to throw	C
In their mimic show	C
La guerre aux tranchees	C
That was a pretty play	C
	-
There was old Jacques Caron	E
Of the hamlet Mailleton	E
He let me look	G
At his household book	G
Comment vivre cent ans	C
What cares I took	G
To obey this wise book	G
I who feared each hour	H
Lest Death's cruel power	H
On the poppied plain	E
Might make cares vain	E
	-
By Noeus les mines	C
Lived old Adelphine	E
Withered and clean	E
She nodded and smiled	I
And used me like a child	I
How that old trot beguiled	I
My leisure with her chatter	H
Gave me a china platter	H
Painted with Cherubim	A
And mottoes on the rim	A
But when instead of thanks	C
I gave her francs	C
How her pride was hurt	J
She counted francs as dirt	J
God knows she was not rich	K
She called the Kaiser bitch	K
She spat on the floor	L
Cursing this Prussian war	L
That she had known before	L
Forty years past and more	L
	-
There was also Tomi	A
With looks sweet and free	M
Who called me cher ami	M
This orphan's age was nine	E
His folk were in their graves	C
Else they were slaves	C
Behind the German line	E
To terror and rapine	E
O little friends of mine	E
How kind and brave you were	H
You smoothed away care	N
When life was hard to bear	N
And you old women and men	E
Who gave me billets then	E
How patient and great hearted	O
Strangers though we started	O
Yet friends we ever parted	O
God bless you all now ends	C
This homage to my friends	C
