Two Canadian Memorials
Original Text
"Epitaphs of the War," Rudyard Kipling's Verse: Definitive Edition (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1940): 388.
1We giving all gained all.
2 Neither lament us nor praise.
3Only in all things recall,
4 It is Fear, not Death that slays.
1From little towns in a far land we came,
2 To save our honour and a world aflame.
3By little towns in a far land we sleep;
4 And trust that world we won for you to keep!
