" Darn, 1917.

Courage, brave heart of Britain!

Dawn will break!

A little while to eager still And- then to wake Clear-aged from out 1115 dreadful dream Of blood and flame, Clean-souled. To- bear with humbler pride A nobler name.

Courage, sad heart of Britain I

Peace will oome,

And Quietness be bore again—

The muffled drum Will roll into the silences; The Calvary past; The peace They deemed worth dying for Will dawn at last !
