Guy Protheroe - The Soldier's Tear Lyrics
Guy Protheroe - The Soldier's Tear Lyrics
Official
Upon the hill he turned
To take a last fond look
Of the valley and the village church
And the cottage by the brook
He listened to the sounds
So familiar to his ear
And the soldier leant upon his sword
And wiped away a tear
Beside that cottage porch
A girl was on her knees
She held aloft a snowy scarf
Which fluttered in the breeze
She breathed a prayer for him
A prayer he could not hear
But he paused to bless her as she knelt
And wiped away a tear
He turned and left that spot
Oh! do not deem him weak
For dauntless was the soldier's heart
Tho' tears were on his cheek
(He watched the foremost ranks in danger's dark career
Be sure the hand most daring there has wiped away a tear.) x2
