ZAIDE SILBERT'S SONG
                         (1905)

When the troop train leaves for Harbin,
Though you search through every car,
You won’t find me with my unit:
I’m not dying for the Czar.

When amid the cannons’ thunder
Comes the order to attack,
I’ll be safe here in Muskoka
At the railhead, laying track.
