 HAROLD JOHN JARVIS

Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori

F England calls to-day—

The last long call of all,

Valhalla's Trumpet-call:

Then may I live until

The Goal shines past the Hill

And in the last grand rally

Hear echoed God's Reveille

In the Home Camp.

If England calls this day—

If in the great, grim fight

I fall—with eyes all bright

With sacrificial flame

Whispering Her great name:

Let these weak verses show

To all the friends I know—

I gladly died.
