OF GALLANT CANADIAN LEGIONS | From the oldest of our cities, From the ramparts worn and grey, Prougly we beheld the foremost Of our comrades sail away, For they heard the voices calling | Of their kinsman o'er the sea; "Lend a hand, O brother Britons, For a Briton's liberty!" Chorus: Mother England we are going Where our comrades went before, | For the bugles they are blowing, And they summon thousands more Where the old red flag is flying O'er 'the dead and o'er the dying, Foes of freedom still defying, | | As it did in days of yore. | At the rumor of disaster, | At the tidings of retreat, At the ery of fallen cities, | | And the calmor of defeat, Brief the prayer we made to Heaven For the heroes that were gone, Then from sea to sea we Aanswer'd: "Keep our Legions moving on!" Chorus: | Mother England, if you need us {| That is all we care to know! | Onward into battle lead us | Where the foremost bugles blow! i Onward where the shells are crash- ing, Where the rifle-fire is flashing, And the bayonets are dashing O'er the trenches of the foe! Let the skies grow darker! Let there come a sterner fate! While thé demons of the Kaiser Hurl on us with hellish hate! From the hearts of all our women From the rifles of our men, For the honor of the Empire We shall give our answer then; Chorus: Mother England, we are ready, As our comrades were before! We are true and we are steady, We are Britons to the core' Give the signal, and we'll sally Forth from every hill and valley, Round the old red flag to rally, Win or die for evermore! Compensations.
