As straight and swift a blow

As at Yorktown came, with smoke and flame,

From the guns of Rochambeau!

Oh, a mistress fit for our soldier love

Is the soixante-quinze, our boast,

Our hope and pride, like a new-won bride,

But the dread of the Kaiser’s host!

J. M. H., F.A.

HOME IS WHERE THE PIE IS
