THE DARDANELLES.
Who are these l'rom o'er the seas Who seek a landing here, Where the shot and shell arc flying, And the Turkish foe is lying, Waiting near? Who are these From o'er the seas Who scale the rugged heights, With the booming guns before them, And the shrapnel bursting o'er them, Casting lurid lights? Who are these . From o'er the seas J Who drive the foe before them. Storm the trench and hold ii, too! Such deeds of daring they can do, What flag is o'er them? Why, these Are Britain's sous from o'er the seas, Sons of sires who fought in days gone by, Fought and bled, nor feared to die, Worthy sons of noble sires, Smoulder still those ancient fires! •' Australia mourns her noble dead," New Zealand, too, has bowed the head, Has bowed her head, but not in shame. .Such deeds • have earned eternal fame. And shall be told long ages through To show what those who dare can do, Deep in our hearts forever dwells This story of the Dardanelles. —C.M. Mangorei, August 2.
