For Private Distribution onlv. E'^^fei^as^iir i^-jj^;^ k %hz XTanguavrt. Out of the grey light, Into the daylight, We are his battlemen Riding along; Century-laden, To some dim aldenn, Hope In our vanguax'd, Courage, our song. " Chock up the curb there!" " Firm In the stirrup, there!" "Steady! men, steady!" " Riding along!" Out of the grim light. Into the dim light, Undor the morning ai-s. Where the paJe stars Fade with the dying Murk of night flying. Into. the smoke-mists, Over earth's bars — Where the dim sorrows Of long-dead to-morrows Sink into ashes, Crumble to night — Cheerfully, gravely, Manfully, bravely. Ride we, ride we. Into His light. There was an Inn, we Rang to begin, we Thundered its rafters With generous song — There a low mound, we Left a brave comrade. Worn of the iourney, Riding along. There was a battle fought, Fiercely the blades rang. Horseman and charger Grappled the foe — *' i V-, Hard spent and hard hit, Teeth clenched and foaming bit. Out of the buttle smoke, Forward we go. Bravely faced, bravply won, Nobly died, nob'iy done, Lifting the firm face. Riding along: Always to hillward, Truth ami God-will ward. Never toward darkness, Never toward wrong; Not dumb cattle! men, We are God's battlemen, Waging Tlia fierce flghta Und'^r the night. Under the snroke-mlsts. Through the d'm centuries, Ride we, ride wo. Into His light. Hold up the head, there! Quicker the tread, there! EJyes on the mountain heights! Lift the oM £ong! " Bravely the right goes, " Down with the dread foes, " Evil and sorrow, " Haite and old wrong! " Doubt, but the battle-smoke, " Dusk, but the morning's cloak, " Care and despairing but " Dreams of the night; " Roll the grey mists up! " Drain deep the dawn-cup! " Ride we, ride we, "Into His light!" Old men and young men, Chearing the faint ones, Bearing the weak ones, Chiding the strong; Over the dead past, Ice-cold, furnace-blast. Riding along; We are His valiant hearts. Wending His journey dread, EyPB to the hlllfi ahead, Hpurken our song: — " Watch for His dawnlns! mark. " Sorrow but the shrlvfelled bark, " Ix>vo the whilft kornel sap; " Hatred an'd wrong, " But the fierce, Biulden hali, " Rattling our Iron mall, "Riding along." I Yea, as we thunder, we Know earth's old wonder, we Feel all about us Her splendor and teara; Her mifiht and her giory. Her centurled story, Her weird, blind caravan Down the dead years. Her grief and hor wigdom, Her heart-breaks and yearning. Her legends of Iron-eaten, Blood-crusted wars: — Her loves and despalringg, Wrecks of old dynasties, Barbarous; splendid and Old as the stars: — They who look down on us. Cold in their far-light. Orient, mystical. Under the night; Weird in their silence, Grim, fixed witnesses, Long, oif earth's struggle*, Her great grim graveyards, Of pas'sion and might. But under we thunder, Charge, battle, and blunder, Out of the niglit-ni'sts. Unto the day. Led by an impulse, A fierce joy and heart-hope. Older and stronger And greater than they. Sound the clear bugle, ther«I Wide, let the summons blare! Challenge the centurieo. Fearless of wrong! V Dury that dMul face! fltronK hPinrt, till hlii place! TP'ndorly, manfully, RIdliiK along! Ry
