Kitchener
- No stone is set to mark his nation's loss,
- No stately tomb enshrines his noble breast;
- Not e'en the tribute of a wooden cross
- Can mark this hero's rest.
-
- He needs them not, his name untarnished stands,
- Remindful of the mighty deeds he worked,
- Footprints of one, upon time's changeful sands,
- Who ne'er his duty shirked.
-
- Who follows in his steps no danger shuns,
- Nor stoops to conquer by a shameful deed,
- An honest and unselfish race he runs,
- From fear and malice freed.
1916.
