Hold a candle to the sun

 

Hold a candle

to the sun,

Light a million lamps:

One in each alley,

One in each galley,

One in each bunker,

One in each trench,

One in each cockpit,

One in each hangar,

One in each langar,

One on each sangarh,

One at each nala track junction,

One on each lone tree hill,

Then fire a red over red*

Into the night,

And turn the night into day.

red over red*: A type of illuminating round fired from a signal pistol, fired after winning a battle.
