Yes, we love this Piccaninny, And will gather round her shield, Sworn to keep her motto stainless On the red and bloody field ; For she's left her honor's keeping To her trusty Volunteers, So they greet Natalia's banner With a storm of ringing cheers. Chorus She's Britannia's Piccaninny ; I she isn't very big, She's a Daughter of the Empire, So she doesn't care a fig. THE LION'S WHELPS. There is scarlet on the forehead, There are scars across his face, 'Tis the bloody dew of battle dripping dow...n, dripping down, But the war heart of the lion Turns to iron in its place, ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR. 63 When he halts to face disaster, when he turns to meet disgrace, Stung and keen and mettled with the life blood of his own, Let the hunters 'ware who flout him When he calls his whelps about him, When he sets the goal before him and he settles to the pace. Tricked and wounded ! Are we beaten Though they hold our strength at play ? We have faced these things aforetimes, long ago, long ago, From sunlit Sydney Harbor And ten thousand mnes away, From the far Canadian forests to the sounds of Milford Bay, They have answered, they have answered, and we know the answer now, From the Britons such as these, Strewn across 'the worldwide seas, Oome the rally and the bugle note that makes us one to-day.
