Kitchener
No stone is set to mark his nations loss, No stately tomb enshrines his noble breast; Not een the tribute of a wooden cross Can mark this heros rest. He needs them not, his name untarnished stands, Remindful of the mighty deeds he worked, Footprints of one, upon times changeful sands, Who neer his duty shirked. Who follows in his steps no danger shuns, Nor stoops to conquer by a shameful deed, An honest and unselfish race he runs, From fear and malice freed.
