At first, when we started on our track.
The willows green were growing.
And now, when we think of the journey back, 'Tis raining fast and snowing.
And tedious and slow the march will be, And food and drink wiU fail us.
Ah, hard to bear is the misery !
None knows what griefs assail us.
* Lit., guarded.
1 82 Song of the Troops.
II. I. 8.
THE SAME* O POBTH in our cars we rode As far as the pasture land ; For now from the King's t abode Our orders had come to hand : " Call out every charioteer, And... bid them their tasks to ply ; Your King hath a task severe, Tour energies aU 'twill try." So forth in. our cars we rode Till the frontier we drew nigh, Where the tortoise-flag % we showed, And the " oxtails " § reared on high ; And the banners with tortoise and bird — || made they not fine display !
Yet sadly some hearts demurred : The drivers were far from gay !
The King had thus charged Nan-Chung : " Gro build me a frontier wall." So rattled our cars along.
Our war-flags If fluttering all.
