ANZAC DAY.

The world hath felt a qulck’ning breath From Heaven’s eternal shore, And souls, triumphant over death, Hotum to earth onre more. For this we hold our "Anzae Day,” For Ibis with joy we sing—- ” 0 Grave, where is thy victory? ”0 Death, where is thy sling?" “(> Grave, where is thy victory? " 0 Death, where is thy sting? ” Our cypress wreaths are laid aside, For amaranthine Bowers, For death’s cold wave does not divide The souls we love, from ours. From pain and death and sorrow free. They join with us lo sing—- *' 0 Grave, whore is thy victory? "0 Death, where is thy sting? " “0 Grave, where is thy victory? “ 0 Death, is thy sting? ”

Immortal eyes look from above, On this our “Anzac Day," And souls immortal in their love Send greetings o'er the way. Across the waveless crystal sea. Their notes triumphant ring—“o Grave, where is thy victory? "O Death, where, is Ih.v sting?” “ ii Grave, where is thy victory? “ 0 Death, where is thy sling? " Brave heroes, welcome yet again, Willi loving hearts wc cry. Ami “ Pence on earth, goinwiE lo men The “ Anzac hosts" reply. I'i'Oni error, doubt, by truth made free They now triumphant sing—■•ii Grave, where is thy victory? "0 Death, where is thy sting?" / *• 0 Grave, where is thy victory? “ 0 Death, where is thy sling? —XOE"
