Excellent A fictional account of a war-time nurse The Lady With the Lamp by bob cullen

She's stood in every battle, she worked in every camp Caring for a dying soldier, she's the lady with the lamp She writes his final letter to those he'll never see again She is the lady with the lamp and she shares his final pain She was just a lass of twenty when she signed up for the corp The year was nineteen fourteen the world was heading off to war She saw it as her duty and to the men she vowed she'd tramp Where ever they would take her, she'd be their lady with the lamp They shipped her across the channel, where the fighting had begun She watched the horror of battle where her men fell one by one And ev'ry day she traipsed alone through the mud, the blood and damp She'd kneel beside one more dying lad, this lady with her lamp One day she fell in battle a stray shot caught her in the head The angel of the nursing corp she lay all alone and dead When night time fell two brave young volunteers dashed out from the camp Their task was to retrieve an angel, their lady with the lamp
