[poem- iqtaaig ' ] THE UiS THAT LIE LOW f — ii & (Written jot the New Zealand Free Lance.) J When the war clouds are riven [ I Over lands that have striven, And the bugles no longer Their martial notes blow, When the bells are a-swinging And glad voices ringing May we ever remember =1 The lads that lie low. With flags waving proudly , : 1 And drums beating loudly * r We welcome sweet Peace, Our hearts all aglow ; At the deeds of our nation J We thrill with elation ; ] But grieve midst our joy r m For the lads that lie low. Though many are weeping For dear ones now sleeping, How bravely they smile Through the tears that will flow ! 'Mid the songs of rejoicing J That thousands are voicing [ t Steals a soft plaintive note : There's a lad that lies low. «- Now fresh is the story. Resplendent the glory Which lustres the deeds -j That have vanquished the foe ; When old is the story e ] And faded the glory, r 1 In mem'ry will live The dear lads that lie low. * _ —Robert J. Pope. o - □ djEaaEar. iql n " —isai —" ■ >r—i^r-H
