AUT VINCERE AUT MORI
 
(VICTORY OR DEATH)
 
 
The years roll on, but mem'ry clings,
Of those who died for greater things;
Out there beneath a foreign sky,
The sweetest of our manhood lie.
 
"Your country needs you!" was the call,
And off they went, to live or fall;
No laggard step or faltering heart,
As each went nobly to his part.
 
Sleep on! You who the dangers braved,
And Homeland from tyrant saved;
You're in our hearts and mem'ry yet,
We loved you then, we don't forget.
 
 
R. K., Cockermouth.
