ANZAC DAY
In Memoriam:
/ " . They brought us, for oar dearth. Holiness, lacked so long. . . . Honour has come back, as a king, to earth. . . " The Dead." Rupert Brooke. If they had Iknown, as in their heart of hearts they knew That no new world would burgeon from their pain, No lasting loveliness and peace blow to eternal flame — Sfill they had died for England I Blood of her blood, earth of her revered earth, And in their hearts, her flowers, her fields, her hills! Old dreams of chivalry they brought her, for her dearth. Young, selfless love. With laughter and with song, Honour they bought for her again, holiness, lacked so long. —E. Mary Cumey, Papatoetoe.
