14 REVEILLE REVEILLE '""] F^HE reveil!6 across the sun-touched field Gives "taps" to song of cheerful birdling choir Vocal since dawn; as smoke of kindled fire Sifts lazily, to early duties steeled The camp wakes up, its bustling streets revealed Seething with eager youth, freed from desire Of old-time ease, nor fearing lest they tire Of daily grind they full obedience yield. And, lo, the steady tread of many feet, Striking the ground in ringing unison, The stalwart poise in serried discipline,... Tell of a land thrilled to remotest mete, Facing the mighty task still to be done; The nation to a man in step and line! [15] TAPS TAPS ^ ^HE stars are near, the tardy moon a friend Whose mystic shadows trail the dim parade, The night lights gleam, the songs rise from the glade And jest and jollity and play attend, While touch of music when strong voices blend Gives benediction, as, drawn out, delayed, The slow arpeggios, sadly, softly played, Bring work and duties to their happy end. Oh, that to all might come this bid to rest!
