## Summary

With big tin trumpet and little red drum, Marching like soldiers, the children come! It’s this way and that way they circle and file-- My! but that music of theirs is fine! This way and that way, and after a while They march straight into this heart of mine! A sturdy old heart, but it has to succumb To the blare of that trumpet and beat of that drum!
