REMEMBRANCE.

Te remember comrades, Jbwelve years ago, ..:."' Out there in the shell-torn West, Tired and sore and the spirit low, When the big guns came to rest. . The cheer that Tent the air, ye mindj As you gathered your vrar-stained load, And the half of your heart was left behind . On the ArrasTCamibria Road. Ye rememiber '-comrade, April seventeen, When 3>onald was shot through the '"brain He died at our rlsli, Q, picture the scene, And the words of big Donald again. "My sod's going 'home to my Maker albove, But "boys, when the war is o'er, If ye live, tell the folks of peace and lave ■■'.'■ And toll them to war -no more." But comrade, twelve y«ars have past away/ .. ■ ■ •* . ,\ • . In the hustle and bustle of life, And men are speaking of war to-day Who know not of felood and strife. For -memory's short in. the realms of time ' . . And men axe still set against men, Qomrade, dost think in the Mattel line, We were nearer a .brotherhood then?. Still comrade, strive for kindness and T peace, - - ■ Though the pace be weary and slow, T'hc vision of Donald ; red war will '.. cease, And that love ,will abundantly flow. For man wars make to be "good and kind, .' And to help with his brother's load,. Try, though., the -half of jout heart's behind On the Arras-Cambria Road. J. McD.
