“I think, sir, the battle is over,” and the young soldier lay down his gun.
“So you think the battle is over, and you even lay down your gun.
“Can you hear the deafening rumble? Can you feel the trembling ground?
“No, son, the battle’s not over. The battle has only begun.
“The battle will rage in the bosom of mother and sweetheart and wife.
“I see, sir. The battle’s not over. The battle has only begun. |
