This poem is about a soldier who saw an old general at the bay. The general
had noticeable grey eyes. The general was stuck in a situation where he
didn't know what to do. He called for men to cross enemy borders. Over 100
men volunteered but only 2 or 3 where chosen. The general gave them their
orders and they listened attentively. The general knew what he was getting
himself into, but the 3 men left proud to serve.
