The Warrior Boy
Music: Ann Mounsey (1811–1891) · Words: William Ball
Away, away, my gallant Warrior Boy!
The trimpet peals its note of joy!
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:57) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Away, away, my gallant Warrior Boy!
The trimpet peals its note of joy!
The field must all our cares employ,
Where valiant, valiant hearts beat high:
The Lute awhile must quit thy hand,
Behold! I grasp the shining brand,
The Foe assails our Fatherland,
And clan gors rend the sky! Prepare my eager
Battle steed, Away, away with light’ning
speed, Prepare the burning charge to lead,
At Glory’s onward, onward cry!
Adieu, awhile, our native Tow’rs!
To Beauty’s smile and festal bow’rs:
There yet may come some gentle hours,
For Love, for Love, and music’s sigh:
Farewell to thee, sweet Ev’ning chime!
For we, who chase the wing of Time,
Must be afar, ere morning prime,
Where War’s red banners fly. Hurrah!
for Valors laurell’d meed! Away!
away, with light’ning speed! Prepare the
burning charge to lead, At Glory’s all
inspiring cry!
