(For a British graveyard in France) When you go home, tell them of us and say: For your to-morrow, these gave their to-day. (For those who fell in the first Battle of Ypres) When Might in scornful millions came arrayed, Here a few English stood, and he was stayed. (For a War Memorial) These in the glorious morning of their days For England's sake lost all but England's praise. (For a general grave on Vimy Ridge) You come from England? Is she England still? Yes, thanks to you who died upon this hill. J. M. Edmonds in "The Times" |
