HAIL!— AND FAREWELL!

William Arthur Dunkerley

They died that we might live,— Hail!— And Farewell! — All honour give To those who, nobly striving, nobly fell,

That we might live! That we might live they died,— Hail!— And Farewell! — Their courage tried,

By every mean device of treacherous hate, Like Kings they died. Eternal honour give,— Hail!— And Farewell!—

— To those who died, In that full splendour of heroic pride, That we might live!
