SCOTCHIES AND MONASH
By
"Father-of-One"
When the Turk at Anzac fought you,
Fame undying then it brought you,
How to dare your School had taught you
Ere the bayonets clash.
Then McCay it was who led you,
Taught the foe to know and dread you,
Made Australia proud that bred you,
Now it is Monash.
You who fight the world to better,
Present, future deep your debtor,
Hammers are, that ev'ry fetter,
Forged by despot, smash.
O'er the din of battle pealing
Ring your strokes and Wrong goes reeling,
Strike again, his death-blow dealing,
Scotchies and Monash.
Hear six hundred Scotchies singing,
Joy and pride within it ringing,
For the laurels you are bringing
How the voices crash.
Louder yet the notes are swelling,
Victory, exultant spelling,
Welcome home for you foretelling,
Scotchies and Monash.
Hark! In sweeter cadence falling
Sounds a melody enthralling,
Those who fell are here, and calling,
"Comrades and Monash".
Those who died, the Right defending,
Died that Peace might live unending,
Greetings to you too are sending
Scotchies and Monash.
When with age our heads are hoary
Dim our eyes, but not your glory,
Shall our Grandsons hear the story
Of your matchless dash.
Side by side with names of sages
Yours shall shine adown the agres
Heading one of History's pages
Scotchies and Monash.
