LOOK AT MY PROFILE. DO IT.

To all my loves
Who wait at home,
And all the friends
That I have known:

I go out to
The dreadful world
To aid comrades
When bombs are hurled.

I know you don't
Like this at all,
But they need help
When soldiers fall.

The battle calls;
The soldier cries;
The gun, it shoots,
And the warplane flies.

Ships are sunk
And soldiers shot,
But I must go;
The battle fought.

If I must die,
Then let it be,
Farewell my loves,
I rest in peace.
