| | | The Fear |
| | | By Wilfrid Wilson Gibson |
| |
| |
| I DO not fear to die | |
| Neath the open sky, | |
| To meet death in the fight | |
| Face to face, upright. | |
| |
| But when at last we creep | 5 |
| Into a hole to sleep, | |
| I tremble, cold with dread, | |
| Lest I wake up dead. | |
