All day at Dunkirk by the sea,
The sea her sons brought home again,
The still, the summer sea of May.
We lost he gins, we saved the men,
The men to fight another day
At Alemein beside the sea,
To ring the bells of home again.
All day at Dunkirk by the sea
The sea her sons brought home again,
Who by the Mediterranean
Annihilate in Africa,
The men who drove them to the sea;
Whom the saves not, on a day
As still and summer as that May.
(Charles Anceps)
