LYLE and MADELEINE MAHAN
I
"Daughter of Light, the bestial wrath
Of Barbary besets thy path!
The Hun is beating his painted drum;
His war horns blare! The Hun is come!"
"Father, I feel his fœtid breath:
The thick air reeks with the stench of death;
My will is Thine. Thy will be done
On Turk and Bulgar, Czech and Hun!"
II
She understands.
Where the dead headland flare
Mocks sea and sand;
Where death-lights shed their glare
On No-Man's-Land.

Magnificently fair,
The Flaming Brand
Within her slender hand;
Christ's lilies in her hair.
III
"Daughter of Grief, thy House is sand!
Thy towers are falling athwart the land.
