,OUR`soLD;IER BOY
(By G. W. Holman, Coxinty Clerk of Huron.)
To the =any sorrowing mothers and fathers who have a boy ly-
ing in Flanders, this rhyme is sympathetically dedicated by the writer.
We've still a. picture, of him as on the lawn he played,
Or hunted chipmunks in the woods with garments torn and frayed;
•
In boyish pranks .I see him as if but yesterday,
As o're the fields he toddled with the: bon '.flowers if Me
y.
.Y..
But one is all our.fancy and dreams of bygone days,
g,YU days,
Dread war, the hideous monster, has blotted life's bright rays;
• For when the tocsin sounded and called our boy so bright
He heard the summons gladly and girded, or the fight.
If I only were a painter, I would picture him today
In thosesoiled and separated: garments he wore in battles far away,
I'd. paint him, .as.he stood at bay Ypres or Verdun,
I'd picture hiat Mount Soret in battle with the Hun.
_1'd.like :_to see_. him as he fouaht at treacherous :Passchendaele:.
Or where his regiment wongreat fame along the Somme_Vale
I'd paint him in the khaki knickers .reaching to his knee,
And those old famous puttees, too, on canvas I would see.
•
march, s
I'd like to paint hien on,the m a , s o gallant andgay,
Or on Flanders' fields or Belgium's front in battle's o grimy fray,
I'd like to see him as he charged the Hun at Vimy Place,
I'd like to paint him as he fought with cheerful, hopeful face.
But the canvas is too limited, the artist's shill is n111
To paint a soul in transit from yonder ghastly bill.
(lis body lies in peace asleep in Flanders'field, they say,
b richergrownyoung gay.
And Paradise tbe for allife so and a
And so we've left the picture as he looked inboyish pride,
And leave it Banging on the wall his schoolboy clothes beside,
And think of him, in youth again instead of battle bold,
And loeg to clasp the boy once more.we knew in days of old.
Perhaps some think us foolish and a little out of date,
But mother and I think we see hien enter our 'garden gate
In childish love and boyish glee as in the days of yore
When dressed in youthful knickers or his baby dresses wore.
It may be the fates are 'gainst us and we think our lot too sad
To cherish thoughts of love and trust .when sorrowing for our lad;
But love begets the heart -ache as well as all the joy beside
We feel in these most trying days in a home without its pride,
Yet parental pride brings better thoughts of a patriot's work well done
And our world must needs be betterfor the gift of a loyal son.
It's hard to mix; pride, hope and faith in comforting alloy,
But
trust in God recompense the another for her boy.

IN MEMORIAM
Moore -In loving memory of Lance
Coporal William Percy laaoore of the
71st Batt., died of wounds at the
Somme, on the 27th day of November
gi6. Deep in our heart lies a picture.
of a lovedone far away.
Dearr ...illiam;
You noblyanswered your duty'scall,
You gave our life foone anall,
But the unknown is the bitterest blow,.
None but the aching hearts can know.
He sleeps beside his comrades;
In a hollowed grave unknown.
But his
love. name • is written in letters of
On the hearts he left at home.
Mother and Brother.
To the memory of Arthur the dear-
ly loved husband of Alice_Shropshall,.
who died four year's ago, Nov. 26th,
Sweet is the rest of those' 'who h lie
Under the grass arid the open, sky.
Pain no more shall come to them, '
The lips of censure are dunti to them
Sorrow nor hurt nor shame may touch
The breasts of those whom we loved
much,so
Age h as lost them the same as we,
Always beautiful now they'll be.
Safe are the souls of those who sleep
Where the trees, are kind and the
grass is deep.
Never a care may find thein there,
Never a fetter may bind them there;
Those who are living must sheet their
tears,
Bear the weight of the heavy years,
Lost their beauty and sitffer pain,
Pot never the dead' shall sigh again
--Remembered always by his wife and;
