+
+
+ Our tears, our songs, our laurels--what are these
+ To thee in thy Gethsemane of loss,
+ Stretched in thine unimagined agonies
+ On Hell's last engine of the Iron Cross.
+
+ For such a world as this that thou shouldst die
+ Is price too vast--yet, Belgium, hadst thou sold
+ Thyself, O then had fled from out the earth
+ Honour for ever, and left only Gold.
+
+ Nor diest thou--for soon shalt thou awake,
+ And, lifted high on our victorious shields,
+ Watch the new sunrise driving for your sons
+ The hated German shadow from your fields.

+
+THE SILK-HAT SOLDIER
+
+
+ I saw him in a picture, and I felt I'd like to cry--
+ He stood in line,
+ The man "for mine,"
+ A tall silk-hatted "guy"--
+ Right on the call,
+ Silk hat and all,
+ He'd hurried to the cry--
+ For he loves England well enough for England to die.
+
+ I've seen King Harry's helmet in the Abbey hanging high--
+ The one he wore
+ At Agincourt;
+ But braver to my eye
+ That city toff
+ Too keen to doff
+ His stove-pipe--bless him--why?
+ For he loves England well enough for England to die.
+
+ And other fellows in that line had come too on the fly,
+ Their joys and toys,
+ Brave English boys,
+ For good and all put by;
+ O you brave best,
+ Teach all the rest
+ How pure the heart and high
+ When one loves England well enough for England to die.
+
+ One threw his cricket-bat aside, one left the ink to dry;
+ All peace and play
+ He's put away,
+ And bid his love good-bye--
+ O mother mine!
+ O sweetheart mine!
+ No man of yours am I--
+ If I love not England well enough for England to die.
+
+ I guess it strikes a chill somewhere, the bravest won't deny,
+ All that you love,
+ Away to shove,
+ And set your teeth to die;
+ But better dead,
+ When all is said,
+ Than lapped in peace to lie--
+ If we love not England well enough for England to die.
+
+
+
+
+THE CRY OF THE LITTLE PEOPLES
+
+
+ The Cry of the Little Peoples went up to God in vain;
+ The Czech and the Pole, and the Finn, and the Schleswig Dane:
+
+ We ask but a little portion of the green, ambitious earth;
+ Only to sow and sing and reap in the land of our birth.
+
+ We ask not coaling stations, nor ports in the China seas,
+ We leave to the big child-nations such rivalries as these.
+
+ We have learned the lesson of Time, and we know three things of worth;
+ Only to sow and sing and reap in the land of our birth.
+
+ O leave us little margins, waste ends of land and sea,
+ A little grass, and a hill or two, and a shadowing tree;
+
+ O leave us our little rivers that sweetly catch the sky,
+ To drive our mills, and to carry our wood, and to ripple by.
+
+ Once long ago, as you, with hollow pursuit of fame,
+ We filled all the shaking world with the sound of our name,
+
+ But now are we glad to rest, our battles and boasting done,
+ Glad just to sow and sing and reap in our share of the sun.
+
+ Of this O will ye rob us,--with a foolish mighty hand,
+ Add with such cruel sorrow, so small a land to your land?
+
+ So might a boy rejoice him to conquer a hive of bees,
+ Overcome ants in battle,--we are scarcely more mighty than these--
+
+ So might a cruel heart hear a nightingale singing alone,
+ And say, "I am mighty! See how the singing stops with a stone!"
+
+ Yea, he were mighty indeed, mighty to crush and to gain;
+ But the bee and the ant and the bird were the mighty of brain.
+
+ And what shall you gain if you take us and bind us and beat us with
+ thongs,
+ And drive us to sing underground in a whisper our sad little songs?
+
+ Forbid us the very use of our heart's own nursery tongue--
+ Is this to be strong, ye nations, is this to be strong?
+
+ Your vulgar battles to fight, and your grocery conquests to keep,
+ For this shall we break our hearts, for this shall our old men weep?
+
+ What gain in the day of battle--to the Russ, to the German, what gain,
+ The Czech, and the Pole, and the Finn, and the Schleswig Dane?
+
+ The Cry of the Little Peoples goes up to God in vain,
+ For the world is given over to the cruel sons of Cain;
+
+ The hand that would bless us is weak, and the hand that would break us
+ is strong,
+ And the power of pity is nought but the power of a song.
+
+ The dreams that our fathers dreamed to-day are laughter and dust,
+ And nothing at all in the world is left for a man to trust;
+
+ Let us hope no more, or dream, or prophesy, or pray,
+ For the iron world no less will crash on its iron way;
+
+ Yea! nothing is left but to watch, with a helpless, pitying eye,
+ The kind old aims for the world, and the kind old fashions die.
+
+
+
+
+THE ILLUSION OF WAR
+
+
+ War
+ I abhor,
+ And yet how sweet
+ The sound along the marching street
+ Of drum and fife, and I forget
+ Wet eyes of widows, and forget
+ Broken old mothers, and the whole
+ Dark butchery without a soul.
+
+ Without a soul--save this bright drink
+ Of heady music, sweet as hell;
+ And even my peace-abiding feet
+ Go marching with the marching street,
+ For yonder, yonder goes the fife,
+ And what care I for human life!
+ The tears fill my astonished eyes
+ And my full heart is like to break,
+ And yet 'tis all embannered lies,
+ A dream those little drummers make.
+
+ O it is wickedness to clothe
+ Yon hideous grinning thing that stalks
+ Hidden in music, like a queen
+ That in a garden of glory walks,
+ Till good men love the thing they loathe.
+ Art, thou hast many infamies,
+ But not an infamy like this;
+ O snap the fife and still the drum,
+ And show the monster as she is.
+
+
+
+
+CHRISTMAS IN WAR-TIME
+
+
+ 1
+
+ This is the year that has no Christmas Day,
+ Even the little children must be told
+ That something sad is happening far away--
+ Or, if you needs must play,
+ As children must,
+ Play softly children, underneath your breath!
+ For over our hearts hangs low the shadow of death,
+ Those hearts to you mysteriously old,
+ Grim grown-up hearts that ponder night and day
+ On the straight lists of broken-hearted dead,
+ Black narrow lists no tears can wash away,
+ Reading in which one cries out here and here
+ And falls into a dream upon a name.
+ Be happy softly, children, for a woe
+ Is on us, a great woe for little fame,--
+ Ah! in the old woods leave the mistletoe,
+ And leave the holly for another year,
+ Its berries are too red.
+
+
+ 2
+
+ And lovers, like to children, will not you
+ Cease for a little from your kissing mirth,
+ Thinking of other lovers that must go
+ Kissed back with fire into the bosom of earth,--
+ Ah! in the old woods leave the mistletoe,
+ Be happy, softly, lovers, for you too
+ Shall be as sad as they another year,
+ And then for you the holly be berries of blood,
+ And mistletoe strange berries of bitter tears.
+ Ah! lovers, leave you your beatitude,
+ Give your sad eyes and ears
+ To the far griefs of neighbour and of friend,
+ To the great loves that find a little end,
+ Long loves that in a sudden puff of fire
+ With a wild thought expire.
+
+
+ 3
+
+ And you, ye merchants, you that eat and cheat,
+ Gold-seeking hucksters in a noble land,
+ Think, when you lift the wine up in your hand,
+ Of a fierce vintage tragically red,
+ Red wine of the hearts of English soldiers dead,
+ Who ran to a wild death with laughing feet--
+ That we may sleep and drink and eat and cheat.
+ Ah! you brave few that fight for all the rest,
+ And die with smiling faces strangely blest,
+ Because you die for England--O to do
+ Something again for you,
+ In this great deed to have some little part;
+ To send so great a message from the heart
+ Of England that one man shall be as ten,
+ Hearing how England loves her Englishmen!
+ Ah! think you that a single gun is fired
+ We do not hear in England. Ah! we hear,
+ And mothers go with proud unhappy eyes
+ That say: It is for England that he dies,
+ England that does the cruel work of God,
+ And gives her well beloved to save the world.
+ For this is death like to a woman desired,
+ For this the wine-press trod.
+
+
+ 4
+
+ And you in churches, praying this Christmas morn,
+ Pray as you never prayed that this may be
+ The little war that brought the great world peace;
+ Undazzled with its glorious infamy,
+ O pray with all your hearts that war may cease,
+ And who knows but that God may hear the prayer.
+ So it may come about next Christmas Day
+ That we shall hear the happy children play
+ Gladly aloud, unmindful of the dead,
+ And watch the lovers go
+ To the old woods to find the mistletoe.
+ But this year, children, if you needs must play,
+ Play very softly, underneath your breath;
+ Be happy softly, lovers, for great Death
+ Makes England holy with sorrow this Christmas Day;
+ Yes! in the old woods leave the mistletoe,
+ And leave the holly for another year--
+ Its berries are too red.
+
+[Christmas, 1899--Written during the Boer War.]

+"SOLDIER GOING TO THE WAR"
+
+
+ Soldier going to the war--
+ Will you take my heart with you,
+ So that I may share a little
+ In the famous things you do?
+
+ Soldier going to the war--
+ If in battle you must fall,
+ Will you, among all the faces,
+ See my face the last of all?
+
+ Soldier coming from the war--
+ Who shall bind your sunburnt brow
+ With the laurel of the hero,
+ Soldier, soldier--vow for vow!
+
+ Soldier coming from the war--
+ When the street is one wide sea,
+ Flags and streaming eyes and glory--
+ Soldier, will you look for me?
+
+
+
+
+THE RAINBOW
+
+
+ "These things are real," said one, and bade me gaze
+ On black and mighty shapes of iron and stone,
+ On murder, on madness, on lust, on towns ablaze,
+ And on a thing made all of rattling bone:
+ "What," said he, "will you bring to match with these?"
+ "Yea! War is real," I said, "and real is Death,
+ A little while--mortal realities;
+ But Love and Hope draw an immortal breath."
+
+ Think you the storm that wrecks a summer day,
+ With funeral blackness and with leaping fire
+ And boiling roar of rain, more real than they
+ That, when the warring heavens begin to tire,
+ With tender fingers on the tumult paint;
+ Spanning the huddled wrack from base to cope
+ With soft effulgence, like some haloed saint,--
+ The rainbow bridge eternal that is Hope.
+
+ Deem her no phantom born of desperate dreams:
+ Ere man yet was, 'twas hope that wrought him man;
+ The blind earth, climbing skyward by her gleams,
+ Hoped--and the beauty of the world began.
+ Prophetic of all loveliness to be,
+ Though God Himself seem from His station hurled,
+ Still shall the blackest hell look up and see
+ Hope's rainbow on the summits of the world.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
