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.
