Above & Beyond the Call
Then they passed to the place of world-long sleeping,
The grey-clad figures with their dead,
To the sound of their women softly weeping
And the Dead March moaning at their head:
And the Nations, as the grim procession ended,
Whispered, ‘Child! But ye have seen the price we pay,
From War may we ever be defended,
Kneel ye down, new-made Sister–Let us Pray!’
“Song of the Australians in Action”
Andrew Barton “Banjo” Patterson 1864~1941
