Excerpt from Selected Poems of Charles Herman Allen The Real Hero. Your navy may be Iron-clad, Its missiles weigh a ton, These count but little when compared With - The man behind the gun. The swiftest cruiser comes to grief And has to turn and run, If he lacks the right material In - The man behind the gun. The admiral in blue and gold, Resplendent as the sun, If a true man, takes off his hat To - The man behind the gun. In the hour of fiercest combat No danger can be shun, But standing steadfast at his post Is - The man behind the gun. If honors are to be bestowed Count heroes, one by one, Pray don't forget the grimy face Of - The man behind the gun. And when sweet peace shall come again When victory has been won, Let praises peal from every throat For - The man behind the gun. C. H. A.
