TO MY NEW ZEALAND SISTERS.
I.ook up! my sisters, look afar, And see the rising sun, Your boys are safer at tlie* war W hen dutv’s to be done. Safer by far (if ’tis their part Out to the war to go). Than leave undone, with hand and heart, W hat’s there for them to do. They’ve climbed the* hill of duty true With cheerful hearts and strong, They want to win the war for you, And hope it won’t be* long. How strong and brave our Inns look, too. In khaki uniform; Now, mothers, you be brave and true. And put your armour on. The armoui safe, of sweet content, YVhate’er (iod’s will may be, His hand has planned the* trial sent, To prove both them and th rt e. Think not alone of the physical frame, That : s so dear to thee; But think of (iod’s eternal plan -W hat it holds, for them, and thee. As yonder sun proclaims, that night Has faded quite away. So in the war W“ get a sight Of peace that comes to stay. Then, lift your heart with cheerful prayer, For God alone can see His purpose, working through the war. For kings and queens and the*. —A Maori Girl.
