War Soldier, in a curious land All across a swaying sea, Take her smile and lift her hand – Have no guilt of me. Soldier, when were soldiers true? If she's kind and sweet and gay, Use the wish I send to you – Lie not lone till day! Only for the nights that were, Soldier, and the dawns that came, When in sleep you turn to her Call her by my name. Dorothy Parker, “War Song,” 1944 © 2017 Kwiple.com
