THE ROLL OF HONOR
Today for Britain's dead we
grieve,
Numbering them, name by name.
Who in their misty, spirit ball* re
eelve
Their diadem of fame.
For them o'er whom the Wintry snow-
flakes drift ---
Our hero sons --we sing;
That splendid host who gave their
only gift -
For Country, God and King.
For praise and gratitude—life's sweet-
est prize—
Perhaps, where they have gone,
May gild the sunshine of those unseen
skies,
Beyond death's pallid dawn.
And ye, fond mothers, who your sons
have lost,
Forget not, this gad hour,
When death hath fallen like untimely
frost
Upon your fairest flower.
That, though the foul and wrinkled
fade of war
Is ruddy with their blood,
Those sons shall reign like kings for-
evermore,
Amid the Great and Good!
And if strange hands their dying eye -
lido cloe'd,
Or emooth'd their brows in sleep,
If son nor sire their stiffening limbs
compos'd,
Nor wife was there to weep.
Yet to each hero Britain's glory
flam'd
Across the kindling sea, .
And from that alien soil in triumph
elaim'd •
Her deathless progeny!
Perhaps the bright stars, stooping
where they lay, • .
Look'd from their quiet sky,
And whleper'd softly, ere they pttse'd
away,
"Like you, we, too, must died"
And shall a fear disturb the mourn.
• er's soul,
Or eleep refuse its rent,
Because no chanting choir nor organ's]
roll, -
N'orpriestly ritual bleee'd?
