We Will Remwmber

They went with song to the battle,
                  They were young.
Straight of limb, steady and aglow,
They were staunch to the end.
   Against odds encountered,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow, not old as we
         That are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
   Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And   in   the   morning,
We  will  remember  them.
