132—THE SONG THE KETTLE IS SINGING

We have sung your song of Tipperary,
  As we sat in the campfire's glow.
We have marched along to that well-known song
  "Are we down-hearted—No."
And now we're singing "Keep the Home Fires burning."
  But there's one song we miss o'er the foam,
That's the song the kettle is singing on the hob
  In a dear little place called home.
