An Honored Son
He came, this young Canadian,
From out the Golden West,
Full of courage and of faith,
Of ardor, hope and zest.
A willing volunteer, he came —
And offered us his life —
His youth, his strength, his heart and soul
To fling into the strife.
The final sacrifice he made.
He lies in Scottish earth —
Far from home, an exile
From the country of his birth.
And yet, amongst his kin he sleeps
In friendly company —
No stranger, but an Honored Son
Of one great family.
