DEAR OLD NEWFOUNDLAND. rrhou<rh far from Terra Nova's Isle beyond the deep blue sea, J)ear Ne,vfoundland to-daj: our hearts go back in love to thee. Though England's skjes be bright and blue, a~d France's

fields be green, ( >h~ our loved strand, dear N e\\rfoundland, is· the best we've

ever seen.

CIIOUUS7- . Hurrah for rrerra Nova, boys,

She is the land we love, ~-lay Heaven's blessing~ fall on her

From God's bright' Throne above And may her sons and daughters fair,

All love her sea girt strand, Though far a'vay we'll ever pray,

For dear old N e"\vfoundland.

Clod l>less:_the land that gave us birth, our own dear sea gi~t shore,

And thou~h we may not live to see her ·rugged hills no more, ) ·· et "·e "·iII kcc1J her in our hearts and love her till we die; L-\ncl hope to tncet 'vit!1 all our frjends in Heaven bye and bye.

Let vour voices the \vel kin niake ring, Terra Nova is proud of her sons and their ·w·orth

For 'to fight for their Country and King.

Fa re,vell, oh fare,vell, to the friends 'vhich \Ve leave, \Vhile do,vn o'er their cheeks steals a tear; ''re hid them for us not to sigh or to grieve But \Ve ask them to be or good cheer.

Let the1n pray for the sons 6£ the Isle they adore~ Our hearts beat with them in true love

Ana if \ve don't meet them again on the shore, :iliay we greet them i:J;i Heaven above

PARTING OF MOTHER AND SON. A youth of t'venty years or more stood on the Florizel, His mother \vho 'vas standing near, upon his broad chest fell. '~::Uiy darling boy," she cried aloud, "it grieves my heart fulJ

sore, To think that I may never in this world~ see Y<?U no n10re. ·

"You "'ere n1y pritle, n1y love ancl joy, since you I ·fir~t . caressed,

When _·a smiling babe I vvatched you as yon nestled . Oil 111Y

'~And he \vho looked upon you \vith a fon<.lness lik~· my o\vh-:­\Vho loved you \vith a n1iser's care, through all the years that's

flown, 'Tis he, your father on this day, 'vho 'veeps as you depart, For you, my son, sincerely, frotn the 'var1n depths of his heart.

"'Like n1e, wheil sickness touched you, he watched you whjle you slept,

Like me he feared he'd lose you, and he often o'er you wept; But Heaven has not \Villed it so, though now you have to go, To tread the field of battle 'vhere there's n1any lying lo,v.

The son gazed on the tender form, say1ng, "1\tlother do not cry, , .

Oh, fe~r not, mothers, for your boys, For we know you love them dearly;

Be brave, and dry yo·ur weeping eyes For they love you most sincerely.

\Ve'll think on you when far a1.vay, And fond memory's -. link \vill bind. u~;

We know for us that you will pray With the friends we left behind us .

And there's our fathers whom we lo-ve, \Vith our sisters and aur brothers_.

May God look on them from above And bless them with our mothers.

"\V e know of love as strong and true, And if "re sigh don't n1ind us ;

Dear sweethearts, it was but for you .. vVi th the friends 've left bel1ind us .

. No'v we won't forget each vale and hill Through which we oft went tramping

In those happy days at Pleasantville "When we all lay there camping.

Good-bye, good-bye to all on shore, In England soon you'll find us­

God send us back when the 'var iR o·"er To the friends 've left behind us.

A BATTLE FIELD SCENE.

A11 Irishman named Paddy Flynn, • His feat, I know, will make you grin, Perform~d by him in war's red din,

Retreating fr~rn: a- "row." He heard his fello,w soldiers cry, For want of water, they would die, ''"Indeed ye wont," said Paddy; "I

Will go and milk a cow."

So from his com .. rades off he runs, He mocked the blaze of German guns No Irish soldier ever shuns

His · comrades I vow. Now 'tis a fact I tell you true Sure Pat soon grabbed a drimindhu 'rhe hullets fast about him flew,

''Then Paddy milked the CO\V.

A11 Irishman 'vas never mean, Fi ,.e tjtnes he filled his tin canteeu, li is comrades drinking it were seeu:o

The best of milk, I vow. Said Paddy, "'God save Erin's Isle, Come help yourselves in Irish style," 'Twould make the mail-fist Kaiser smile,

'Vhen Paddy milked the co,v.

BraV"e deeds in this 'var as 've kno\v, By brave men have been done, I trow, \Ve'll take for instance, J ellicoe,

And French who does them no,v. But one among the best of all, \Vhich future history will recall As bullets fl.e"r and shells did :fall~

When Paddy milked the cow.

IT'S A LONG W"AY TO ST. JOHN'S CITY. Air.,-aLong lfay to Tipperary.-'-'

Up to mighty London came a St .. John's boy one day, As the streets were filled 'vith·troops sure everyone seemed gay, ~inging songs of Canada, , Australia and elsewher~, ~o this is ""hat 'vas shouted by the St. John's volunteer:

( 1 fiORt:S_,-

1 t's a long way to St. John's .c.City, It's a long 'vay to go.

l t's a long way to St. John's City, To the sweetest girl I know.

J met her at the Races, she lives in Brazil's Square, It's a long 'vay to St. John's City,

Rut my heart's right there.

Next day he wrote a letter to his St. ,John's ~Iary 0. ~aying, darling 'vrite and tell me if you still remain my

beau. F'or if I should get mashed upon a German girl, said he, Hementber it \\"ont he my fault if you don't write to me.

~\fa1·y w-rote a letter to the St .. John's volunteer, ~aying-, Johnnie don't you \Vorry, I wont marry, never fear. I~eep ~tp jpur heart, for I'll he true, 1vhile to the war you're

gone, 'rhough I may, for fun, this winter, to another ""mash''

hitch on. -

TERRA NOV A FOR ME. Sing not to me of the green fields of Erin,

Nor of the pluck which the soldier~ have sho,vn; "Our boys"' ',v·e kno'v have dbne deeds just as clarjn',

No men in the \Vide "\vor ld more brave than our own.

They've proven their "\"\"Orth on the sea and on dry I a nc..l, They've crosses and medals for their bra very ;

I'm delighted to know that they're natives of my lan<l;o Of all lands in the world, Terra Nova for . me.

Scotia may sing of her heather and thistle, IIer sons and h~r daughters are loyal and true,

But give me the land \vhere the "'\vintry \vinds 'vhistlP, My soul is enraptured and \Vrapt up in you.

I Jove every bit of your snow-covered mountains When winter has thro,vn her cold pall over thee;

I love the cool drink from your clear crystal fountainR, . Of all lands in the world, Terra Nova for me.

Albion, our J\.fother, has big ships to guard her, Her foes she defied when their spite at her hurled ;
