GEORGE MINCHIN YOUNG.

(Died of wounds in France, March 9th, 1916.)

WE met upon the stressful day of war, I read you and I loved you as I road ; I saw ahead the day I'd love you more.

Thought never pictured you among the dead.

Dear Young, I felt our hearts as one were bound, And now the sword has cut the bond in twain ; But in the woo the certainty I've found That Life will join our hearts as one again.

Yea, hopes we dimly saw shall be fulfilled When Love shall live that hellish Hatre,'
