Marching Song

by Robert L. Stevenson

Est. reading time: 1 min

Burching, here wecome!
RING the comb andplayuponit!
Willie cocks his Highland bonnet,
Johnnie beats the drum.
WINTER- TIME
Jun. Cl-10
Mary Jane commands the party,
Peter leads the rear ;
Feet in time, alert and hearty,
Each a Grenadier !
All in the most martial manner
Marching double-quick ;
While the napkin like abanner
Waves upon the stick!
Here's enough of fame and pillage,
Great commander Jane!
Nowthat we've been round the village,
Let's go home again.
