FAREWELL DEAR ONE

     AT DUTY'S CALL

     ARE BREAKING

GOD GRAND MY PRAYERS

     MAY NOT BE VAIN

FOR YOU TILL I COME

     HOME AGAIN

    When Duty Calls


    Farewell dear one

    At duty’s call

    With Britain’s manhood waking

    I leave my home and

    You my all

    Although our hearts

    Are breaking

    God grant my prayers

    May not be vain

    For you till I come

    Home again.

    A Fond Farewell.
