We pause On this Remembrance
Day .•
To ' honor all our fallen rr,.•/
Yes, just for one brief; hour: We
pause,'. •
Then back to worldly itaskt again.
•
If we had ;
lost thehard fought
fight,
Had to :bow to. a' 'foreign power,
Pay • for the cost of war today,
Where would we be on that dark
hour?:
•
It is the, least. =that •we could. do
•
Beside the' cenotaph to, :stand,, . .
Yes every man and: woman too,
Should bow 'in prayer for Our--
brave
ourbrave land.
And for the men who gave their
all;
To them, life. looked so very dear,,
Should they look,, down . from
Heaven. above
To 'see the few that gathered.
here.
Do We on this Remembrance Day.
Carry the torch of freedom high?
Our boys then, have not died' in
vain, •
For. them it was not death, to die.
