"O hearts ever youthful, like schoolboys at play, So be it with you in the thick of the fray; In the crash and the smoke and the roar of the fight, Be it yours, if it need be, to die for the Right! While deep in your heart a quick prayer shall arise To Him who looks down on the earth from the skies, For those whom you love in a faraway Home— O! shield them, our Father, whatever may come!"
