A local poem for ANZAC Day 2021

TRANGIE’S Maggie May Gordon sent this poem she composed into Dubbo Photo News for our ANZAC Day edition.

A LONE PINE Lest We Forget

A Lone Pine stood one cloudy day In a land so far away,

And in the breeze I heard it say: ‘Lest We Forget’

For below that Pine the fallen lay Gallant sons to always stay,

In our hearts and the words we pray:

‘Lest We Forget’

From the Pine and beyond the bay A seedling in soils of clay, Grew the hope that come-what-may: ‘Lest We Forget’

Above the clouds there shone a ray To cast aside skies of grey,

As a nation vowed ever would they:

‘Lest We Forget’

A Lone Pine stood one sunny day In a land so far away,

And in the breeze I heard it say: ‘Lest We Forget’
