hugo weisgall - the leveller lyrics

Loading...

near martinpuisch that night of h+ll
two men were struck by the same sh+ll
together tumbling in one heap
senseless and limp like slaughtered sheep

one was a pale eighteen+year+old
girlish and thin and not too bold
pressed for the war ten years too soon
the shame and pity of his platoon

the other came from far+off lands
with bristling chin and whiskered hands
he had known death and h+ll before
in mexico and ecuador
yet in his death this cut+throat wild
groanеd “mother! mother!” like a child
whilе that poor innocent in man’s clothes
died cursing god with brutal oaths

old sergeant smith, kindest of men
wrote out two copies there and then
of his accustomed funeral speech
to cheer the womenfolk of each
