50 WILFRED CAMPBELL
Wonderful battles have shaken this world,
Since the Dawn-God overthrew Dis ; Wonderful struggles of right against wrong, Sung in the rhymes of the world's great song. But never a greater than this.
Bannockburn, Inkerman, Balaclava,
Marathon's god-like stand ; But never a more heroic deed. And never a greater warrior breed,
In any warman's land.
This is the ballad of Langemarck,
A story of glory and might ; Of the vast Hun horde, and Canada's part
In the great, grim fight.
— Wilfred Campbell.
Editorial Note: A son of Mr. Wilfred Campbell, the poet, is now fighting at St. Eloi. He is Capt. Basil Camp- bell, of the Second Pioneers.
