POETRY.

THE CALL.

MBAR the call, men, hear the call 1 "Give yourselves, your best, your all 1 All in asked and must be given— Yea, though home or heart be riven 1

Follow the drums, the drums, the drums Save your souls, and follow the drums I "Britain's honour is the stake ! Give your heart-blood for her sake ! Count the cost of life as naught ! Ne'er was freedom lightly bough.!

Follow the drums, the ,drums, the drums 1 Save your souls, and follow the drums 1" Sterner, sterner grows the can: "Make your choice, 'tis now for all I Linger not in sheltered shame Challenge death for Britain's fame!

Follow the drums, the drums, the drums I Save your souls, and follow the drums 1 "
