ADIEU, O soldier!
You of the rude campaigning, (which we shared,)
The rapid march, the life of the camp,
The hot contention of opposing fronts�the long manoeuver,
Red battles with their slaughter,�the stimulus�the strong, terrific game,
Spell of all brave and manly hearts�the trains of Time through you, and like of you,
all
fill�d,
With war, and war�s expression.
Adieu, dear comrade!
Your mission is fulfill�d�but I, more warlike,
Myself, and this contentious soul of mine,
Still on our own campaigning bound,
Through untried roads, with ambushes, opponents lined,
Through many a sharp defeat and many a crisis�often baffled,
Here marching, ever marching on, a war fight out�aye here,
To fiercer, weightier battles give expression.
