In the Fight

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892)

THY voice is heard through rolling drums

That beat to battle where he stands;

Thy face across his fancy comes,

And gives the battle to his hands:

A moment, while the trumpets blow,

He sees his brood about thy knee;

The next, like fire he meets the foe,

And strikes him dead for thine and thee.
