R.S.V.P:
The Empire calls for men to-day: For patriots, wise and strong, With selfless aims, like knights of old, To right some anc.ent wrong; To plan, to strive, to hope alway, Tho' roads be rough and long. For men of truth the Empire calls, For those with vision clear, To read the portents of the- times, And see afar and near; Who seek by gracious words and deeds To conquer hate and fear. To those who love their country best Whate'er the world may say, And who for joy and pride of her High tasks and hard essay; To those who dream a dream of good, The Empir.n calls to-day. The Empire calls to one and all ' Of high or low estate, To share the burdens of the hour, To lead, to serve, or wait, Strong in "the strength of righteousness, With will to conquer fate. r—Annie E, Woodcocks
