ave their today. London Truth.
Dur happy smiling boys Of yesterday. 7
Man-moulded In the crucible Of Mars,
Who fought, and died, their faces to the
stars;
rhe debt we owe them we can ne'er repay
For our tomorrow they saye their today"
Dur men. who stopped-and turned-the Hood
Of grey; !
Who laughed and sang the while they
fought and fell. v
The passing years no memory can dispel
OF their glorious deeds; they'll live for aye.

Our grief to tighten by their wondrous
And they, in looking down, can always
know;
They did not die in vain If We but say:
For our tomorrow they gave their today.
