== The Bugles of Canada ==

[In war time a Canadian Division was encamped near my house. I used to fashion their bugle calls into the names of their distant land. Hence these verses.]

The Farmer in the morning 
Stood with slanted head, 
In the wintry dawning 
By the milking-shed ; 
From the camp behind the hill 
He could hear the bugles shrill, 
"We are here ! We are here ! 
Soldiers all ! 
Good cheer ! We are near ! 
Ontario ! Ontario ! 
Toronto ! Montreal !"

Petherick, the Huntsman grey, 
Rheumatic, bent and blind. 
Wheezed his joy as far away 
He heard it in the wind. 
"Hark the Hounds ! Hark the Hounds !" 
Nay, it is the bugle sounds, 
"We are here ! We are here ! 
Soldiers all ! 
Good cheer ! We are near ! 
Ontario ! Ontario ! 
Toronto ! Montreal !"

Lonely folk and fearful 
Rose above their fears ; 
Mothers, sad and tearful, 
Were smiling through their tears ; 
'Neath the cloudy English sky 
They heard the cheering bugles cry, 
"We are here ! We are here ! 
Soldiers all ! 
We are near ! Good cheer ! 
Ontario ! Ontario ! 
Toronto ! Montreal !"

When the dusk was falling, 
And the lamps alight, 
You could hear them calling 
In the misty night. 
And old Sussex heard and blessed 
The kindly greeting from the west, 
"We are here ! We are here ! 
Soldiers all ! 
We are near ! Good cheer ! 
Ontario ! Ontario ! 
Toronto ! Montreal !"
