THE LAST POST.
Stand. Bugler, once again, and let your trumpet shrill Echo and re-echo al-ong the grey, scarred hill, .: For those so active once, but now so still — Lights out, good-night! Now as the long day ebbs and night's soft shadows creoAcross the lone!/ beach and pitted trenches • deep, Sound once again, for those so fast asleepLights out, good-night! The first pale alien star shines down on Anzac Bay, And In the western sky yet lingers one gold ray, Call once again, before you turn away— Lights out, good-night! —SYDNEY RANDALL.
