Trooper Perreau.
• The Transvaal War is almost oe'r, We've near subdued the crafty Boer ; And back to New Zealand's loyal shore Our gallant lads return once more. By the steamer Tokomaru Came our old friend Bob Perreau, He has proved himself to be a man And a soldier good and true. For its a plucky thing to do To leave one's kith and kin ; And pit yourself against the foe 'Midst shot, and shell, and battle dinWe'd like him to be made aware, That we appreciate the share He took in the Transvaal fight, ''To uphold Old England's power and might. So let us one and all extend, A hearty welcome to our friend ; And at the social on Thursday night, Our acquaintance with Bob re-unite. — Spokeshave.
