"MADELON"
It seemed years since I had seen one,--
Years of hiking, sweat and blood,
Didn't think there was a clean one
In these miles of men and mud.
Well, I stood there, laughing, drinking,
Kidding her in bon fransay
But the things that I was thinking
Were a thousand miles away.
Sewed my stripe on like a mother,
Gee! She was a pretty kid.
