Halt! Little soldier
with heart full of fun

Tootin' your bugle
and shootin' your gun

Ole Mars the war-god
made promise today
He is putting his shining shield
and spear away

Discord will be no more
nor terror, trembling
panic or fear
when sympathy captures
each falling tear

Forward! March little soldier
with heart full of fun

Shoot from your quiver
Love Missles
'til peace is won
little peaceful soldier 22k jpeg

 


Note:
Reville- The bugle call to soldiers for duty
Mythology tells Mars is a war-god.
Discord is Mars' sister.
His sons are terror, trembling, panic and fear
