My! but that music of theirs is fine !This way and that way, and after a whileThey march straight into this heart of mine IA sturdy old heart, but it has to succumbTo the blare of that trumpet and beat of that drum! Come on, little people, from cot and from hall —This heart it hath welcome and room for you all!, It will sing you its songs and warm you with love,As your dear little arms with my arms intertwine;It will rock you away to the dreamland above —Oh, a jolly old heart is this old heart of mine,And jollier still is it bound to become When you blow that big trumpet and beat that red drum!(i) (11 WITH TRUMPET AND DRUM So come ; though I see not his dear little faceAnd hear not his voice in this jubilant place,I know he were happy to bid me enshrine His memory deep in my heart with your play —Ah me ! but a love that is sweeter than mineHoldeth my boy in its keeping to-day!And my heart it is lonely — so, little folk, come,March in and make merry with trumpet and drum!
