TWO FISHERS When the War is over, Charley, We'll go fishing once again. You'll be a new man, Charley, When you walk with fishermen. For we'll seek a leaping river I know far among the fells; You'll forget the War there, Charley, Where the springing water wells. It's God's own land for the nimble trout, And ferns and waving flowers, The bracken and the bilberry, And the ash the coral dowers. There are rolling leagues of heather, Lone hills where the plovers call. Oh, we'll climb those hills together Ere the last dews fall!
