And over its bones the spectres stalk!"

"Father, I see my high spires reel;

My breast is scarred by the Hun's hoofed heel.

What was, shall be! I read Thy sign:

Thy ocean yawns for the smitten swine!"

[pg viii]

Then, from Verdun

Pealed westward to the Somme

From every gun

God's summons: "Daughter! Come!"

Then the red sun

Stood still. Grew dumb

The universal hum

Of life, and numb

The lips of Life, undone

By Death.... And so—France won!

"Daughter of God, the End is here!

The swine rush on: the sea is near!

My wild flowers bloom on the trenches' edge;

My little birds sing by shore and sedge."

"Father, raise up my martyred land!

Clothe her bones with Thy magic hand;

Receive the Brand Thy angel lent,

And stanch my blood with Thy sacrament."
