The Ypres Times.
stone, but no regimental crest, no name, no regiment, no date of death. There was just
the simple cross and, underneath, these words Known Unto God."
I should like to congratulate the man who thought of that inscription for the graves
of the unknown. A better choice could not have been made. Its simplicity and its truth
make an instant appeal. Before that stone I paid my tribute of silent homage. Known
Unto God but not only that. By name, by regiment, unknown to us all-and yet, in
that communion of sympathy and sacrifice which brings out the kinship of all mankind,
known to us all.
The age-old, yet ever-new plaint of bereaved womanhood still sounds forth We
know not where they have laid him! Here he is! His memory enshrined in that little
white stone his hope that little cross his joy that, while men forget and remembrance
of him lives only in the hearts of the few, he is for ever and ever
Known Unto God."
REV. H. SHANNON BRISBY, M.A.
PASSCHENDAELE.
(iOctober 1th, 1917."Our men won the crest of
the outer ridges. From the highest point of the
Passchendaele Ridge the British Army saw the
Towers of Bruges, thirty miles away over the Flemish
levels.")
Sweet city of desire! of cloistral peace,
By some named Deaththat antique, fragrant
gloom
Like a saint's body in a jewelled tomb,
So broods the quiet within thee, holy Bruges!
Mute, pinnacled vision, pencilling thy plaint
Of quenchèd music weeping 'neath the rod,
In contemplation of the ways of God.
Thy Towers are seen by them of Passchendaele,
Our men, who hold the crest of Passchendaele,
Have gazed on thee, sweet city of desire!
Thy Towers rise bravely towards the sombre sky
Rich memories throng, like unseen flowers beneath;
Our tears fall o'er three, as a funeral wreath
Might sweetly gird some unrecked agony.
In rare remembrance of thy throbbing life,
Wherein we mingled in the wistful times,
Tuned to the wayward music of thy chimes.
So gaze, so muse the men of Passchendaele,
As from the joyous crest of Passchendaele
They scan the miles, to hail thy Towers, O Bruges!
