FARING TO FLANDERS.

Troops to this England true

Faring to Flanders,

God be with all of you,

And your commanders.

Clear be the sky o’erhead,

Light be the landing:

Not till the work is done

Be your disbanding.

On the old battleground

Where fought your fathers

Faithful shall ye be found

When the storm gathers.

* * * * * *

Troops to our Empire true,

And your commanders,

God be with all of you

Fighting in Flanders.

The Times. 1914.
