LINES
Against the City of the Yellow DragonOur troops were sent long years ago,And girls here watch the same melancholy moonThat lights our Chinese warriors—And young wives dream a dream of spring,That last night their heroic husbands,In a great attack, with flags and drums,Captured the City of the Yellow Dragon.
