ORIGINAL VERSE.
I "THE CALL FOR HEW" ARE WE FORGETTING ? Are we forgetting that in the days gone Our fathers bought the freedom enjoyed by you and I, Bought it with their valor on many a bloody field, To prove alike to friend and foe that Britons never yield? Are we forgetting that great and gloriour day When our fathers, led by Nelson, '"Twas in Trafalgar Bay," Rave freely of their life blood, when the mighty Nelson spoke, Doing wo]i their duty, saved us from the foreign yoke? Are we forgetting out brave lads gone before, Who answered the enll of duty at the start of this awful war, Riving tile very best they had. giving it day by day, Leaving us "Glorious Anzae" to link with Trafalgar Bay? Are we forgetting? Surely not; we're | fighting now to-day To prove that Britons never bend beneath foreign sway, Fighting ns once our fathers fought oil land and on the sea, That Britons never shall be slaves, shall never, never be. Are we forgetting? 0 God, let it not be said That love for home and freedom in Biiton is past and dead; So give the best you have, lads, let not the German brag That ever for a moment he sullied the dear old Flag. H. J. ENGLEFIELD. Koru, March 22.
