MURRAY McCLYMONT
2nd Lieut., 2/10th (Scottish) K.L.R.
God's Acre
Dedicated to my "skipper," Captain Alan Cookson (killed in action 27th June, 1917), who now sleeps eternally in the shadow of the little grey church at . . .
WHEN sands of Time have run their course
And mortal heart is stilled,
We render back unto its Source
The dust that He fulfilled;
And in some still, subduéd spot
Where all is peace, and they
Who walk the silent paths are taught
To meditate and pray,
We to that dust its rest afford
And dry our idle tears:
For Death is peace, and Peace adored
Reigns here throughout the years.
B.E.F., France, Sept., 1917.
