IN MEMORY OF OUR FALLEN WHO STEMMED THE
GERMAN ADVANCE OF MARCH, 1918.
The Ypres Times.

rays of the setting sun stream out towards me across the sodden fields while above, the
sighing pines wave gently to and froDarkness comes."
Once again there rises, in the mists of memory, the smoky cocoa room in the
Dickebusch streetthe dank December nightand the pitiful face of the stretcher bearer
as he reads this dying lad's last adventure stamped out on the muddy paper, spotted with
its fearful dye. One more stricken mother in England, one more desolate boy in Germany,
two more bodies to add to the shameful pile.
NEMO."
Ye who can kneel at home, beside a bed,
Redeemed and safe because of countless
dead,
Pray for Those Dead.
Pray for the Dead They may not need
our prayers
Indeed, I think we have more need of their's;
Yet lift your souls for them to One Who
knows
The curtained door through which the spirit
goes
Pray for The Dead.
It well may be prayers fall upon their road,
And blossom it, up all their way to God
Or it may be that, at their journeys' ends,
Our prayers shall find themmessages from
friends
Pray for Our Dead.
Perchance by prayer we touch their garment-
hem,
And thus receive new virtue out from them
Howe'er it be, of this I am assured
'Tis well to pray for spirits which endured
Pray for The Dead.
Ye who can kneel at home, beside a bed,
Redeemed and safe because of countless
dead,
Pray for Those Dead.
