Son of John E. and Elizabeth Holt, of 6, Hambledon View, Cheapside, Burnley.

Nameless his grave on a battlefield gory
Only a cross o'er a mound of brown earth;
Dead in the pride of his youth and glory.
Far from his home and, the land of his birth.
None near to mourn him, save willows, that weeping.
Bend o'er his grave, where flow'rs springing anew,
Cover the place where a hero lies sleeping,
Silently falling their teardrops of dew.
Silently the shades of evening,
Gather round my lonely door;
Silently they bring before me,
A face which we shall see no more.
How such Holy memories cluster,
Like the stars when storms are past,
Pointing up to that far heaven,
Where we hope to meet at last.
