��Gl'XS OF VERDUN
(Reprinted by the special permission of the proprietors of Punch.)
Guns of Verdun point to ]\Ietz From the plated parapets ; Guns of Metz grin back again O'er the fields of fair Lorraine.
Guns of !Metz are long and grey Growling through a summer day ; Guns of Verdun, grey and long, Boom an echo of their song.
Guns of IMetz to Verdim roar, "Sisters, you shall foot the score ;" Guns of Verdun say to IMetz, "Fear not, for we pay our debts."
Guns of Metz they grumble, "AMien?" Guns of Verdun answer then, "Sisters, when to guard Lorraine Gunners lay you East again !"
— Patrick R. Chalmers.
