The things that make a soldier great and send him out to die, To lace the flaming cannon's mouth, nor ever question why, Are lilacs by a little porch, the row of tulips red The peonies and pancies, too, the petunia bed The grass plot where his chidren play, the roses on the wall Tis these that make a collier great. He's fighting for them all. Tis not the pomp and price of kings that imake a soldier brave Tis not allegiance to the flag that over him may wave For soldiers never fight so well on land or on the foam As when behind the cause they see the little place called home. Endanger but that humble street whereon his children run, You make a soldier of the man who never bore a gun. What Is it through the battle smoke the valiant soldier sees ? The little garden far away, the budding apple trees, The little patch of ground back there, the children at their play, Perhaps a tiny mound behind the simple church of gray. The golden thread of courage isn't linked to castle dome. But to the spot, where'er it be the humble spot called home. And now the lilacs bud again and all is lovesly there. And homesick soldiers far away know spring is in the air The tulips come to bloom again, the grass once more is green, And every man can see the spot where all his joys have been. He sees his children smile at him, he hears the bugle call. And only death, can stop him now he's, fighting for them all. DUNNVILLE DISTRICT HERITAGE ASSOCIATION
