The Comrade

By Lee Wilson Dodd

CALL me friend or foe,

Little I care!

I go with all who go

Daring to dare.

I am the force,

I am the fire,

I am the secret source

Of desire.

I am the urge,

The spur and thong:

Moon of the tides that surge

Into song!

Call me friend or foe,

Little care I,

I go with all who go

Singing to die.

Call me friend or foe.…

Taking to give,

I go with all who go

Dying to live.
