The

He died
like a hero on a foreign battlefield.
In a land
far away, across the deep blue sea,
He sleeps
in a grave that I may never see – Only a boy.
New Zealand
is now giving the flowers of the land,
When young
lads of twenty-two in the trenches they stand.
Though just
but a boy, he played a brave part,
For honour
of his country he had at his heart – Only a boy.
What more
could he give to his Country and King,
A life
that’s so young but yet dear to him.
No stone
marks the grave of that hero so true
Who died
for his country and the Belgians too – Only a boy.
Sleep on in
peace, lad, your work is now done
And your
comrades will finish the task you begun.
Like all
New Zealand soldiers, they will never say die
Until peace
is declared in the sweet bye and bye – Only a boy.

Thank God for
that pure, manly heart and true

your face for ever towards the light

lit the only path you ever knew and made you victor still in Death’s despite.

Looked

Dear
Heart, though art sadly missed.
