APRES LA GUERRE.

Q. (3rd Field Ambulance).

'Tis weary waiting, months and years, While still the old, sad road leads on, O'er moor and fen, and never nears The rekt- our liearts are set upon-. Tliat rest which will be Heav'n indeed— When Spring returns to earth again, And all the sons of men are freed From war's long winter-time of pain. When I return to my loved home, • 'Neat-h sunny skies beyond compare, And' o'er the tussock? freely roam And breathe the perfame'd hillside Hir. E'en now I feel the bracing breath of Southern breeze o'er Ocean's swell : Oh! may no haunting fear of death My steadfast glow of hope dispel.
