The heroes preparing to finish the war

The heroes preparing to finish the war, And bid to the camp, to the camp an adieu; Now sheath up their swords, and rejoice O ye fair, To think, to think of returning to you.

With smiles then ye lasses embellish your charms, Your lovers with rapture, with rapture will come; O! take the brave fellows then close to your arms, And tenderly, tenderly welcome them home.
