Here is the Schedule for Unit 13
And here is the practice test
Here's Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt singing David Olney's 1917
The strange young man who comes to me
A soldier on a three day spree
He needs one night's cheap ecstasy
And a woman's arms to hide him
He greets me with a courtly bow
And hides his pain by acting proud
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
How can I deny him.
Let us dance beneath the moon
I'll sing to you "Claire de Lune‘
The morning always comes too soon
But tonight the war is over
He speaks to me in schoolboy French
Of a soldier's life inside a trench
Of the look of death and the ghastly stench
I do my best to please him
He puts two roses in a vase
Two roses sadly out of place
Like the gallant smile on his haggard face
Playfully I tease him
Hold me ‘neath the Paris skies
Let's not talk of how or why
Tomorrow's soon enough to die
But tonight the war is over
We make love too hard too fast
He falls asleep his face a mask
He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask
I put my arms around him
They die in the trenches and they die in the air
In Belgium and France the dead are everywhere
They die so fast there's no time to prepare
A decent grave to surround them
Old world glory, old world fame
The old world's gone, gone up in
flames
Nothing will ever be the same
And nothing lasts forever
Oh I'd pray for him
but I've forgotten how
And there's nothing
nothing that can save him now
There's always another
with the same funny bow
And who am I to deny them
Lux aeterna luceat eis
Domine cum sanctis tuis in aeternum
Quia pius es
Requiem aeternaum dona eis Domine
Qui-a pius es
Requiem aeternaum dona eis Domine
Qui-a pius es
Et lux perpetua luceat- eis Cum sancris tu-s in
Aeternum quia pius es
Tonight the war is over
(May everlasting light
shine upon them, O Lord,
with your saints forever,
for you are merciful.
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and may everlasting light
shine upon them.
with your saints forever
for you are merciful. )
