Dawn on the Somme

By Robert Nichols

Intro: Am7 D C#m7 F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 C#m7
Am7 Em7 F
Last night rain fell over the scarred plateau
Am7 D C#m7 F#m7
And now from the dark horizon, dazzling, flies
Bm7 F#m7 C#m7
Arrow on fire-plumed arrow to the skies
Am7 D C#m7 F#m7
Shot from the bright arc of Apollo's bow;
Bm7 F#m7 C#m7
And from the wild and writhen waste below,
Am7 Em7 F
From flashing pools and mounds lit one by one,
Am7 D C#m7 F#m7
O is it mist or are these companies
Bm7 F#m7 C#m7
Of morning heroes who arise, arise
Am7 D C#m7 F#m7
With thrusting arms, with limbs and hair aglow
Bm7 F#m7 C#m7
Toward the risen god, upon whose brow
Am7 Em7 F
Burns the gold laurel of all victories,
Am7 Em7 A
Hero and hero's god, th' invincible Sun?
