The Submarines.
(For the N.Z. Free Lance.) Under the sea, under the sea, Submarines, stealthily lurking, swim free Waiting to launch, at each neutral or foe, Deadly torpedo, while hidden below. Under the sea, under the sea, Stalking the ships that are bringing to thee Britain, the nation most hated by Huns, Food for thy people, and shells for thy guns. Over the sea, foam flying free, Steam the destroyers, Great Britain from thee, Hunting to death the foes lying low; Aiming their guns where the periscopes show, .
Aiming so truly tliat oil on the wa.ves Tells where the U boats have sunk to their graves. Over the sea, over the sea, Swiftly the. Allies are bringing to thee, Britain the resolute,, strength from afar s Food for thy millions, and men for the war. Over the sea, over the sea. Victory cometh, its portent® I see, - U boats avail not its progress; to stay ; Despots in Germany tremble, to-day. —J. O. Thomson.
