She was binding the wounds of her enemies when they came	A
The lint in her hand unrolled	B
They battered the door with their rifle butts crashed it in	C
She faced them gentle and bold	B
	-
They haled her before the judges where they sat	B
In their places helmet on head	B
With question and menace the judges assailed her Yes	D
I have broken your law she said	B
	-
I have tended the hurt and hidden the hunted have done	E
As a sister does to a brother	F
Because of a law that is greater than that you have made	B
Because I could do none other	F
	-
Deal as you will with me This is my choice to the end	B
To live in the life I vowed	B
She is self confessed they cried she is self condemned	B
She shall die that the rest may be cowed	B
	-
In the terrible hour of the dawn when the veins are cold	B
They led her forth to the wall	G
I have loved my land she said but it is not enough	H
Love requires of me all	G
	-
I will empty my heart of the bitterness hating none	E
And sweetness filled her brave	I
With a vision of understanding beyond the hour	F
That knelled to the waiting grave	I
	-
They bound her eyes but she stood as if she shone	J
The rifles it was that shook	K
When the hoarse command rang out They could not endure	L
That last that defenceless look	K
	-
And the officer strode and pistolled her surely ashamed	B
That men seasoned in blood	B
Should quail at a woman only a woman	E
As a flower stamped in the mud	B
	-
And now that the deed was securely done in the night	B
When none had known her fate	B
They answered those that had striven for her day by day	B
It is over you come too late	B
	-
And with many words and sorrowful phrased excuse	M
Argued their German right	B
To kill most legally hard though the duty be	N
The law must assert its might	B
	-
Only a woman yet she had pity on them	O
The victim offered slain	P
To the gods of fear that they worship Leave them there	Q
Red hands to clutch their gain	P
	-
She bewailed not herself and we will bewail her not	B
But with tears of pride rejoice	R
That an English soul was found so crystal clear	S
To be triumphant voice	R
	-
Of the human heart that dares adventure all	G
But live to itself untrue	T
And beyond all laws sees love as the light in the night	B
As the star it must answer to	T
	-
The hurts she healed the thousands comforted these	U
Make a fragrance of her fame	A
But because she stept to her star right on through death	V
It is Victory speaks her name	A
