CANADIAN SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS The Living Dead.

My tears are less for the slain
 * In the battle of life,

Than for those that remain
 * Unarmed to the strife.

For those who near have known
 * The warrior's share;

Near frozen or flamed
 * With love and despair.

For hearts that know not to weep
 * Or kindle with scorn,

For souls still heavy with sleep
 * That perish unborn.

Helena 29
