"Dost thou remember, soldier old and hoary, The days we fought and conquered, side by side, On fields of bank, famous now in story, Where Britons triumphed, And where Britons died?" * * * * * * * "Dost thou remember all those marches weary, From gathering foes, to reach Coruña's shore? Who can forget that midnight sad and dreary, When in his grave we laid the noble Moore? But ere he died, our General heard us cheering And saw us charge with Victory's flag unfurled,— And then he slept, without a moment's fearing For British soldiers conquering all the world." NORMAN MACLEOD.
