Kitchener and the Seven Hundred

----

The Loss of H.M.S. HAMPSHIRE

June 5th, 1916.

----

By REV. J. MOUNTAIN, D.D.

----

----


'Mid raging Northern billows

  The Hampshire ploughs her way;

Her guns are bathed in sea-foam,

  Her masts are dashed with spray,

When swiftly strikes her death-blow,

  No human arm can save;

Seven hundred British heroes

  Sink 'neath the 'whelming wave!


No cheek is blanched with terror,

  No heart is stopped by fright;

Calm, resolute and fearless

  In drowning or in fight,

Seven hundred gallant seamen

  Whose courage none outvie,

Who lived for King and Country,

  Now gladly for them die!
