Weave In, Weave In, My Hardy Life.

Part of the cluster MARCHES NOW THE WAR IS OVER.

WEAVE IN, WEAVE IN, MY HARDY LIFE.

WEAVE in! weave in, my hardy life! Weave yet a soldier strong and full, for great campaigns  
 to come;
Weave in red blood; weave sinews in, like ropes! the  
 senses, sight weave in!
Weave lasting sure! weave day and night the weft, the  
 warp, incessant weave! tire not!
(We know not what the use, O life! nor know the aim,  
 the end—nor really aught we know;
But know the work, the need goes on, and shall go on—  
 the death-envelop'd march of peace as well as  
 war goes on;)
For great campaigns of peace the same, the wiry threads  
 to weave;
We know not why or what, yet weave, forever weave.
