Ragtag Soldier

A soldier of the Rebbe experiencing flagging spirits, draws an analogy from a renowned event in the American Revolution.

Ragtag soldier
Seeped of strength,
Trudging the last length
Of bitter cold defeats -
The march by night -
Impossible - long and slow.
Heaven's Historian records
Your bloodied footsteps in the snow.
Those that mock and those that doubt -
What matter their marshalled might -
One small action can turn the tide.
Leave off despair -
Ceaseless your sovereign leader
Rallies the Cause,
And in the thick of night - watch!
You will yet cross your Delaware.
