1912. ('Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover / themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, / and the act of violence is in their hands. ' -- _Isaiah lix 6_)
The dark eleventh hour / Draws on and sees us sold / To every evil power / We fought against of old. / Rebellion, rapine, hate, / Oppression, wrong and greed / Are loosed to rule our fate, / By England's act and deed.
