1914.
For all we have and are, / For all our children's fate, / Stand up and take the war, / The Hun is at the gate! / Our world has passed away, / In wantonness o'erthrown. / There is nothing left to-day / But steel and fire and stone! / Though all we knew depart, / The old Commandments stand: -- / 'In courage keep your heart, / In strength lift up your hand.'
