Robert Leckie. A helmet for my pillow, A poncho for my bed, My rifle rests across my chest— The stars swing overhead. The whisper of the kunai, The murmur of the sea, The sighing palm and night so calm. Betray no enemy. Hear!, river bank so silent. You men who sleep around. That foreign scream across the stream— Up! Fire at the sound!
