THE QUESTION

1916

Brethren, how shall it fare with me

When the war is laid aside,

If it be proven that I am he

For whom a world has died?

Vowed to one sacrifice,

And not, as I hold them, battle-blind,

But dying with open eyes?

That they did not ask me to draw the sword

That they only looked to me for a word,
