# Return Of The Heroes

A lady watches from the crowd,

Enthusiastic, flushed, and proud.

“Oh! there’s Sir Henry Dudster! Such a splendid leader!”

How pleased he looks! What rows of ribbons on his tunic!

Such dignity…. Saluting…. (Wave your flag… now, Freda!)…

Yes, dear, I saw a Prussian General once,—at Munich.

“Here’s the next carriage!… Jack was once in Leggit’s Corps;

That’s him!… I think the stout one is Sir Godfrey Stoomer.

They must feel sad to know they can’t win any more

Great victories!… Aren’t they glorious men?… so full of humour!”
