The Soudan War.

England, with all thy faults love thee still.
-Cowper
The flag that floats in Soudan now,
Above host of Christian men,
Soon may 1t look on Moslem law
And EnRland's prestige high maintain.
Before Its cross the heather bows,
His idols fall to rise no more;
Forever mute the Pagan's VOWS,
Where waves the flag Its sons adore.
Der darkness 1t has shed its light
On sea and shore, for many an age,
TO every race n beacon bright
Alike for savage and for sage.
Beneath its folds all lands are free,
There justice reigns with sword and
shield,
To teach that right must ever he,
And wrong alone is forced to yield.
Shall II give way to h,ath.n sway?
Nor dare its hordes In arms to meet?
Let Christian rights be held at bay2
The ion crouch at Moslem feetg
Has England grown degenerate --baseY
The sons OF Greasy, Waterloo
That even one. Of all her race,
Would dare to ask her this to do?
Her history shows she has not one
who would such infamy propose,
Her flag, that sees no setting sun,
To-day no craven Migrate knows;
Then In the right long may 1t wave,
Her shield and bulwark, safe and
strong,
Upheld by manly hearts, and brave,
Defending right, subdulng wrong.
