The infantry stands and holds out its hands
The marshall's binoculars focus;  and skyward they train
They're searching the yonder blue - they look out for Number Two
The heraldry of    the Pencil Rain

And now hear the roar that none can ignore
The thunderous clatter of splintering wood and lives that are claimed
And none who have witnessed all can speak of a nobler cause
Than perishing in    the Pencil Rain
