I think this song falls somewhere within The Family Tree, Volume 2, which has a song covering World War 1 on it. I believe this song, as well, is set during the war, only it follows a soldier who has fallen in love with a fellow soldier or his commanding officer. Unfortunately, both of them are men, and a homosexual relationship is simply unacceptable (due to the time period). The final verse of the song is the soldier recalling the day he tried to confess his love, and how the object of his affection didn't reciprocate, though the soldier doesn't regret having tried.
