STAR OF ANZAG.
- : (By Professor 1). A. Welsh.)
Because lie loved this land, lie fought In other lands, A daring lance of Umpire wrought By honour’s hands : A soldier born of peaceful suns And freedom’s breath. He walks with God amid the guns And jests with Death. Shall we, who shelter safe behind His stalwart frame, Not work for God and him, but find Abiding shame ? Not hold the high resolve that we Will never stain His sacrifice, nor ever see His toil made vain ? 'Lest we forget the deathless stand Of those wh.o fight. Aii emblem of our faith and land Is lit at night ; Lest we.forget .things.greater than Our-human dross, . . •Hack,starry night reveals-.to man The Southern Cross.
