The Lions Whelps.

There is scarlet on his forehead,
There are scars across his face.
IT'S the bloody dew of battle dripping down,
dripping down;
But the war heart Of the Lion
Turns 10 IRON in its place,
When he halts to face disaster, when he turns
to meet disgrace,
stung and keen and mettled with the hieblood
Of his own,
Let the hunters ware who hout him,
When he calls his whelps about him,
When he sets the goal before him and he see-
ties to the pace.
Tr:cked and wounded, Are VIC beaten
Though they hold our strength at play2
We have faced these things aioretime, long ago,
From sunlit sydney Harbor
And ten thousand miles away.
From the far Canadian forests TO the sounds OF
Milford Bay,
They have answered. they have answered, and
we know the now.
From the Britains such these,
Strewn a-toss the worldwide seas,
Come the rally and the bugle nete that makes Us
one today.
Beaten! Let them come against us,
We can meet them. one and all,
We have faced the world aforetime not in vain.
not in vain.
Twice ten thousand hearts be widowed,
Twice ten thousand hearts may fall,
But million voices answer: I've are ready for
the call.
And the sword we draw for Justice snail not see
its sheath again,
Nor our cannon cease to thunder
Till we break their strength ssunder,
And the Lions whelps are round him AID the
Old Flag over all.

Dawn in Winter.

When hear winters vibrant cry at dawn
Over the haunted hilltops echoing.
And know where rules the pale aurora king
All bloom has vanished and all glory gone,
More icetly than a bird my soul is drawn
From out its tenement on GRAND wing,
And once OF the sempitcrnal spring,
Am a comradc on some lupined lawn.
I strolied through attared close', thread warm
streams,
Or list rapt harmonies on the deserts verge
What time, unlids the ddy-god's fiery eve;
As naught to me the colds engulfng surge,
Who can detect the while walk with dreams,
Mennonite music in the winters cry!
