ARMISTICE DAY, 1928.
Where the road is winding that we call the Great Forever,
Sunlit in the freedom of its way,
Far beyond the broken path of dusty Earth's Endeavour,
Treads a mighty company to-day.
Hearts that might have withered in some stifling earthly by-way,
Hearts that might have beat atune to Fame,
Side by side in comradeship they march along the Highway,
Strong and young, with each a deathless name.
Hailed are they as brothers by the heroes of the ages,
By the great White Comrade loved and hailed; Where the crosses glisten, where the deep sea foams and rages,
Where the moons of ten long years have paled,
We, who knew their passing, humbly hail them, dim discerning
What they strove for, why they fought and died; Ten long years the popples have been redly flaming, burning
To extol their gift, each autumntide.
Some there are, too, still in tragic pain their tired liven giving,
Freed at last to join the marching throng;
Bowed in awe we hail them all, the gallant dead and living,
To our pride no weakling tears belong!
Hark! Above the cries of earth that make the bright years
dreary,
Silenced by no sounds with discord rife,
Where that white procession winds, their song-lilt, brave and.

Bids earth keep the Peace they bought her, strong and never
weary
Breathes the triumph of victorious Life! Hong Long
