THE BELGIAN MOTHER

AND

BALLADS OF BATTLE TIME

SECOND EDITION

Dedicated to

The Great War Veterans living, and dead, by whose exalted patriotism and heroic sacrifice in war the British Empire was preserved

CANADA

TO THE VETERANS OF THE GREAT WAR

As gallant knights, as valiant-souled crusaders, You come from quests of peril o'er the sea; From conflicts stern, against the brute invaders, With laurels nobly won, you come to me.

In contest grim, the mightiest of the ages, My banner through the carnage you have borne; Your names are written large on Glory's pages, I greet you, gallant soldiers, battle-worn.

Through all the years to be, I shall remember The deeds you wrought, since first you sailed away; Since flaming down through Belgium, that September, The Prussian hell-hounds, baying, sought Calais.

There Ypres and St. Julien, shining glorious, Red Courcelette and Vimy's Ridge aglow, And many another unsung fight, victorious, Wherein you clove a pathway through the foe.
