Now praise the Gods of Time and Chance	A
That bring a heart's desire	B
And lay the joyous roads of France	A
Once more beneath the tyre	C
So numbered by Napoleon	D
The veriest ass can spy	E
How Twenty takes to Bourg Madame	F
And Ten is for Hendaye	G
	-
Sixteen hath fed our fighting line	H
From Dunkirk to P ronne	I
And Thirty nine and Twenty nine	H
Can show where it has gone	J
Which slant through Arras and Bapaume	F
And join outside Cambrai	C
While Twenty takes to Bourg Madame	F
And Ten is for Hendaye	G
	-
The crops and houses spring once more	C
Where Thirty seven ran	K
And even ghostly Forty four	C
Is all restored to man	K
Oh swift as shell hole poppies pass	L
The blurring years go by	E
And Twenty takes to Bourg Madame	F
And Ten is for Hendaye	G
	-
And you desire that sheeted snow	M
Where chill Mont Louis stands	N
And we the rounder gales that blow	M
Full lunged across the Landes	N
So you will use the Orleans Gate	O
While we slip through Versailles	E
Since Twenty takes to Bourg Madame	F
And Ten is for Hendaye	G
	-
Sou' West by South and South by West	P
On every vine appear	C
Those four first cautious leaves that test	P
The temper of the year	C
The dust is white at Angoul me	F
The sun is warm at Blaye	G
And Twenty takes to Bourg Madame	F
And Ten is for Hendaye	G
	-
Broad and unbridled mile on mile	Q
The highway drops her line	H
Past Langon down that grey walled aisle	Q
Of resin scented pine	H
And ninety to the lawless hour	C
The kilometres fly	E
What was your pace to Bourg Madame	F
We sauntered to Hendaye	G
	-
Now Fontarabia marks our goal	R
And Bidassoa shows	S
At issue with each whispering shoal	R
In violet pearl and rose	S
Ere crimson over ocean's edge	T
The sunset banners die	E
Yes Twenty takes to Bourg Madame	F
But Ten is for Hendaye	G
	-
Oh praise the Gods of Time and Chance	A
That ease the long control	R
And bring the glorious soul of France	A
Once more to cheer our soul	R
With beauty change and valiancy	A
Of sun and soil and sky	E
Where Twenty takes to Bourg Madame	F
And Ten is for Hendaye	G
