ARMISTICE DAY.

A CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISCUSSION ON HOW TO

SPEND IT.

Yes, as you ask me to tell in what way In what mood"and why, and where

I mean to dissipate Armistice Day,

I reply In the open air."

.II.

Out of doors, I shall go to play golf perhaps,

Or taking a horse or walk, I shall pass.

To enjoy the air with hearty chaps

Where there's earth, and leaves and grass,

III.

As we move erect on the lovely land,

Talking and laughing. sociable, brave,

-It is then, in the pause, we can best understand Why they offered, and what they gave,

IV.

What was seen on the roads we won't forget:

The columns and bivvies-It needs little power In quiet by ways to conjure them yet- Waiting the Zero Hour.

V

In a more across something like that open space.

Fred said fields.were the sight he should miss, And fell among ferns, with a smile on his face,

Beside a path like this.

FI.

By a homeside hedge like that one, Nan

Had been ardently courted by lively young Bill. And to such a hedge, shot-through; he ran

To mend a wire, and lie still.

VIE

Blindly forward and back again,

No more than the length of a well-hit "drive, If we'd had this fairway to fight on then,

Our dead would still be alive.

VIII.

Aeriver like this they bridged one night,

While with boraca, and guns and men, We hoped to cross before dawn, if we might,

And thought, "we do, what then?"

|_ IX.

While Nature perished, and Science tore,

Not for cities, nor statues did soldiers sigh Such yearnings in trenches, as never before,

For the simple fields and the sky.

X.

So the open lands are their Pantheon,

Pasture and hop-feld, plantation" and hili, They fought for these, and died thereon. And there we find them still.

POPPIES.

The garden's Master trod,

Ab even cool and still,

Where all the richest beauties of the sod

Bloomed forth to please His will.

He loved them so, with sweet and gracious smile

He scanned each blooming gem;

It served to soothe His heart, and to beguile

From care, His care of them.

My gardener begs my praise ?"

(He gently spoke and slow)

"Of one fair flower, the loveliest earth can raise,

I am to judge it so.

And judging, to confer the seal and prize

That royal honours ask

On that one blossom; ere the daylight diea

I would complete the task.

"Yet sco! Beyond the green,

That spot of blood-like red!

K. M.

What creature's wound hath marred my cornfield's sheen,"

So near my garden-bed?"

His kindly eye sought keener, closer view

Of what might lie forlorn,-

But lo! A common scarlet poppy grew

Beside the ripening corn

With care He raised its head,—

"The flower that guards each grave

Of thore, whom Britain calls her Splendid Dead,

Who died her name to save!

This is the blossom, earning royal fame.

O'er all earth's goodly store, Keeping in memory souls whose glorious name

Liveth for Evermore!"
