The Silent Battle Annotated

He was a soldier in that fight
&nbsp Where there is neither flag nor drum,
And without sound of musketry
&nbsp The stealthy foemen come.

Year in, year out, by day and night
&nbsp They forced him to a slow retreat,
And for his gallant fight alone
&nbsp No fife was blown, and no drum beat.

In winter fog, in gathering mist
&nbsp The gray grim battle had its end—
And at the very last we knew
&nbsp His enemy had turned his friend.
