THE INDEX fa fa 1919 YOU AND YOU TO THE AMERICAN PRIVATE IN THE GREAT WAR BY EDITH WHARTON Every one of you won the war- Y ou and you and you- Each one knowing what it was for, And what was his job to do. Every one of you won the war, Obedient, unwearicd, unknown, Dung in the trenches, drift on the shore, Dust to the world's end blown, Every one of you, steady and true, You and you and you- Down in the pit or up in the blue, Whether you crawled or sailed or flew, Whether your closest comrade knew, Or you bore the brunt alone- ' All of you, all of you, name after name, Jones and Robinson, Smith and Brown, You from the piping prairie town, You from the Fundy fogs that came, You from the city 's roaring blocks, You from the bleak New England rocks With the shingled roof in the apple boughs, You from the brown adobe house- You from the Rockies, you from the Coast, You from the burning frontier-post And you from the Klondyke's frozen flanks, You You You You You And You You You from the cedar-swamps, you from the pi from the cotton and you from the vine, from the rice and the sugar-brakes, from the Rivers and you from the Lake from the Creeks and you from the Licks you from the brown bayon- and you and you- from the pulpit, you from the mine, from the factories, you from the banks, Closer and closer, ranks on ranks, Airplanes and cannon, and rifles and tanks, Smith and Robinson, Brown and Jones, Ruddy faces or bleaching bones, After the turmoil and blood and pain Swinging home to the folks again Or sleeping alone in the fine French rain- Every one of you won the war. 8 119 Sa
