Text Appearing Before Image:
s peace! the hills and valleys cry,Christ give us Icst from war! the zephyrs sigh ;The hrooks and hirds are interceding, too,—Bnt only hideons eaniiim make reply. Each patriot martyr who for truth luitli bledifust turn uneasy in his narrow bed,To hear again the tramp of marching feet,To know once more the axe of war is red. O war s Gehenna, tragedy of hell,Ambitions curse, through which old empires fell.Thy heinous sword has caused more teais to flowThan from all other causes ever fell. Are brave men then so plenty tliat we feedThe vultn-re and the jackal on their seed^Give carrion to the crows; but human flesh,For nol)ler ends, humanity hath need. If war must rear its hideous Cyclops head.Its mangled living and its butchered dead.Be strong, O sons of Liberty, and strikeUntil the robes of tyranny are red. Amid the shock, the grind, the sulphurous glare.The crush of empire, and the wild despairOf sleepless nights, that turn the heart to stone,—O God of mercy, hear a mothers prayer!
Text Appearing After Image:
O wars GEHENNA, TRAGEDY OF HELL. THE HOLE OF THE WORLD AND OTHER POEMS. 35 Can we teach Christ imto benighted souls.When throiigli their land the tide of battle rolls,When hearth and lunne with fire we desecrate,And everv hand its enp of sorrow holds? Each dro)i of liiniian blood that we shall spill,Each human aspiration we shall kill,Shall be a tongue to cry aloud each dayFor us to hear,—a tongue that naught can still. Our father Line(.)ln unce in wisdom saidFor every drop of blood that we have shedBeneath the lash, a drop of ours must flowEen though it run until the sea be red. In each mans soul there is a spark of God,It matters not be he the meanest clod,And when we shackle hands that God made free,Remember then His spirit is downtrod.
