[Page 141]
Pal of Mine – continued
A rough hewn bit of limestone on the spot where Ginger lies
Bears a proper soldiers tribute – "a brave man never dies"
& I hear the sentnel saying when the judgment story's told
All's Well Pass little comrade to your dugout made of gold
Where the wailing croon of Shrapnel plays a requiem o'er you head
In the slime of muddy Flanders where the bravest's fought & bled
I'll go looking for you Ginger when I've crossed lifes firing line
& wether hell or heaven may I meet you Pal o mine.
