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‘s no complaining
Winter will in time be past
One day we shall cry rejoicing
“Homeland, dear, you’re mine at last!”

Then will the peatbog soldiers
March no more with their spades
To the moor
