THE MENIN WAY.

"Punch."

Along the cobbled Menin way The wine and wool were sent, And market waggons every day To Ypres and Menin went, And oh ! the laughing women sat and sewed Before their houses on the Menin road. There are no houses now ; the rain In pools where they have been Lies deep ; or. out upon the plain A fevv frail walls may lean ; And oh ! the little children must not . pky With whai they iind beside the Menin way. And I remember gallant men And lads who fought and died, And think of all their laughter when They said Good-bye — and died; For "Oh! it's not too bad," they used to say, "Along the Armentieres and Menin

way."
