There's a beautiful song called "Peatbog Soldiers" written by Jews in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. It was smuggled out during the war. Pete Seeger sings it on one of his albums and I think it's also in The Folksingers Word Book. Here's a few verses: Far and wide as the eye can wander Peat and bog are everywhere Not a bird sings out to greet us Oaks are standing gaunt and bare CHORUS: We are the peat bog soldiers Marching with our spades To the bog Up and down the guards are pacing No one, no one can get through Flight would mean a sure death facing Guns and barbed wire greet our view But for us there is no complaining Winter will in time be past One day we shall cry, rejoicing Homeland, dear, you're mine at last LAST CHORUS: Then will the peat bog soldiers March no more with our spades To the bog
