6) A Farewell to 1902
With all its hopes, with all its fears, With all its joys, with all its
tears,
With all its sorrow, all its pain, The year has joined the age's train.
Still it shall live and tell its tale, To England's children; and the wail
Of mother who has lost her son; Of young wife left with husband none,
Of children who have never known The joy and comfort of a home;
Because 'mid battle's deaf'ning roar Their father died on hostile shore;
Will make the year that now has past A year of sorrow to the last.
What though England glory gains Fighting on those
sandy plains;
What though men of sterling parts Have not bullets in their hearts;
What though England has to-day Underneath her sovereign sway
More than e'er she had before, - It is steeped in bloody gore.
History down the ages sends All that strife and glory
lends;
But in every soul there lies Hidden history that ne'er dies,
Telling of a brother slain On the dusky Afric plain;
Telling of a father killed; Of a lover's breath that's still'd;
Telling all the secret woe, (Woe the world will never know)
That there was when England won Glory 'neath that scorching sun.
Look how many men have died, Look how many widows cried,
Look how many maidens sighed; Must not grief like this abide.
What great rulers of our thought Have departed,
leaving nought
But a name; their souls have fled, And their bodies, cold and dead;-
O! how rich the world was when It could boast of these great men,
Sure the year must ever live By the prominence they give
By their dying; and its name. Will a solemn greatness claim,
And 'twill live, 'twill live like them - They by power of their pen,
Live within the minds of men. S. N.

8) The Sea-Gull's Glee - One day, in the absence of better game, we shot a
few seagulls, and later in the day tried them on toast, They were horrible.
Ugh! - Extract from recent holiday letter.
In madcap glee I whirl and fly Where storm winds rip and rave,
I drift and circle in the sky And skim the purple wave.
As happy as the day is long Am I because my boast
Is like the burden of my song; "I'll ne'er be served on toast."
I often flap my wings at fate When all is bright or
bleak,
And gliding down the sky elate In triumph loud I shriek.
And oft when I outsoar the lark And graze the sun almost,
I fondly to myself remark: "I'll ne'er be served on toast."
When on the shrine I rise and sink Or float the clouds
above,
I'm lost in joy until I think I'm Aphrodite's dove,
Because of time I'm not the slave That knows the chain and post -
A wistful waif of wind and wave, "I'll ne'er be served on toast."
I am no caged ringed cockatoo That mopes from morn
till night -
I cleave the shining ether through, The storm-king's acolyte.
And such I'll be until this shell So frail shall slip the ghost,
Which oft will whistle on the swell: "I'll ne'er be served on toast."
