A Christmas Ghost Story Lyrics by John Joubert

South of the Line, Op. 109

0

South of the Line, from far Durban
A mouldering soldier lies - your countryman
Awry and doubled up are his gray bones
And on the breeze his puzzled phantom moans
Nightly to clear Canopus: "I would know
By whom and when the All-Earth-gladdening Law
Of Peace, brought in by that Man Crucified
Was ruled to be inept, and set aside?
And what of logic or of truth appears
In tacking "Anno domini" to the years?
Near twenty-hundred liveried thus have hied
But tarries yet the Cause for which He died."
