CARRY ON!
When Britons held the battered line At Ypres against the German horde And foiled the War Lord’s proud desigu Where ware on wave the flood was poured, In that our country’s darkest hour, There sounded, though all hope seemed gone, Defiant of the foeman’s power, Our heroes’ watchword, “ Ca.iry on I” And so in Picardy to-day, Where Britain’s new-sprung Army bleeds, Our soldiers keep their onward way Where fort to stubborn fort succeeds. O ! never yet our battle-star Through clouds of war so brightly shone As down the line there sounds afar The cry triumphant, “ Carry on !”
Iu crowded shops where strong men toil, And women ply their new-learn’d trade, Here on our own well-guarded soil The arms of Victory are made, Such as they have our workers yield, Nor shall hands fail though cheeks
grow wan, While rings that message from the field, Grim and insistent, “ Carry on !”
Touchstone.
