The old soldier suantered in
Took out his pen
Scribbled on the page,
Like a wizened sage
He'd soon recall his manly conflict
Of drawn sword as a loyal subject
And a youth worth living
Of constant giving
To country and to king
With praise he'd sing
As a valiant knight
He'd fought for right
And then the country was overthrown
Democracy replaced the crown
And all his battles fought
He realized were for naught.
