The Soldier If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven. -- A popular song during World War One was Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip.

 Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip lyrics; We come from ev'ry quarter, From North, South, East and West, To clear the way to freedom For the land we love the best. We've left our occupations and home, so far and dear, But when the going's rather rough, We raise this song in cheer: // Chorus: to be sung twice after each verse // Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip, With your hair cut just as short as mine, Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip, You're surely looking fine! Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust, If the Cam-ls don't get you, The Fatimas must, Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip, With your hair cut just as short as, your hair cut just as short as, your hair cut just as short as mine. //Verse 2// // You see them on the high-way, You meet them down the pike, In olive drab and khaki Are soldiers on the hike; And as the column passes, The word goes down the line, Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip, You're surely looking fine. //
