A Day! Help! Help! Another Day! 1
Your prayers, oh Passer by!
From such a common ball as this
Might date a Victory!
From marshallings as simple 5
The flags of nations swang.
Steady－my soul: What issues
Upon thine arrow hang!
Your prayers, oh Passer by!
From such a common ball as this
Might date a Victory!
From marshallings as simple 5
The flags of nations swang.
Steady－my soul: What issues
Upon thine arrow hang!
