Oer field and wood and brake,With glories newly born. Comes on the blushing ! awake! You have dreamed of your homes and friends all night;You have basked in your sweethearts smiles so bright; 220 IReveille 221 Come, part with them all for a while again,—Be lovers in dreams; when awake, be men,Turn out! turn out! turn out! You have dreamed full long, I out! turn out! turn out!The east is all out! turn out! From every valley and hill they comeThe clamoring voices of fife and drum ;And out in the fresh, cool morning airThe soldiers are swarming in ! fall in ! fall in !Every man in his placeFall in ! fall in ! fall in !Each with a cheerful in ! fall in !.
