A Bugler Boy From Barrack (It Is Over The Hill There) - Boy Bugler, Born, He Tells Me, Of Irish Mother To An English Sire (He Shares Their Best Gifts Surely, Fall How Things Will), This Very Very Day Came Down To Us After A Boon He On My Late Being There Begged Of Me, Overflowing Boon In My Bestowing, Came, I Say, This Day To It - To A First Communion. Here He Knelt Then 'N Regimental Red. Forth Christ From Cupboard Fetched, How Fain I Of Feet To His Youngster Take His Treat! Low-Latched In Leaf-Light Housel His Too Huge Godhead. There! And Your Sweetest Sendings, Ah Divine, By It, Heavens, Befall Him! As A Heart Christ'S Darling, Dauntless; Tongue True, Vaunt- And Tauntless; Breathing Bloom Of A Chastity In Mansex Fine. Frowning And Forefending Angel-Warder Squander The Hell-Rook Ranks Sally To Molest Him; March, Kind Comrade, Abreast Him; Dress His Days To A Dexterous And Starlight Order. How It D'Es My Heart Good, Visiting At That Bleak Hill, When Limber Liquid Youth, That To All I Teach Yields Tender As A Pushed Peach, Hies Headstrong To Its Wellbeing Of A Self-Wise Self-Will! Then Though I Should Tread Tufts Of Consolation D'Ys 'Fter, S' I In A Sort Deserve To And Do Serve God To Serve To Just Such Slips Of Soldiery Christ'S Royal Ration. Nothing 'Lse Is Like It, No, Not All So Strains Us: Fresh Youth Fretted In A Bloomfall All Portending That Sweet'S Sweeter Ending; Realm Both Christ Is Heir To And Th're R'Igns. O Now Well Work That Sealing Sacred Ointment! O For Now Charms, Arms, What Bans Off Bad And Locks Love Ever In A Lad! Let M' Though See No More Of Him, And Not Disappointment Those Sweet Hopes Quell Whose Least Me Quickenings Lift. In Scarlet Or Somewhere Of Some Day Seeing That Brow And Bead Of Being, An Our Day'S God'S Own Galahad. Though This Child'S Drift Seems By A Div'Ne Doom Ch'Nnelled, Nor Do I Cry Disaster There; But May He Not Rankle And Roam In Backwheels Though Bound Home? - That Left To The Lord Of The Eucharist, I Here Lie By; Recorded Only, I Have Put My Lips On Pleas Would Brandle Adamantine Heaven With Ride And Jar, Did Prayer Go Disregarded: Forward-Like, But However, And Like Favourable Heaven Heard These.
