TAKE COURAGE
Take courage, ye who weep; the honored slain 4 " In i martyred glory sleepthe cross of pain Unto the'brave God's just reward shall bring; Who fought and died lor Motherland and King. Take courage in thy woe, ye mothers brave, Whose 'sons have met the foe, thy soldier' s grave A hero's "tomb shall be—death 4 is the price Of brave men's deeds and noblest sacrifice. Take courage, ye who mourn, know ye with pride The sons that ye have borne have nobly died ; Though on a foreign field their blood be shed, The God of Battles watches o'er thy dead. Take courage, ye who pray—God's will be done; He shall thy tears repay, and victory won Thy sacrifice shall crown, and thou shalt see Thy nation conquer by thy loyalty. Harold Gallagher. Dunedin.
