On that long day when England held her breath	A
Suddenly gripped at heart	B
And called to choose her part	B
Between her loyal soul and luring sophistries	C
We watched the wide green bosomed land beneath	D
Driven and tumultuous skies	C
We watched the volley of white shower after shower	E
Desolate with fierce drops the fallen flower	E
And still the rain's retreat	F
Drew glory on its track	G
And still when all was darkness and defeat	F
Upon dissolving cloud the bow of peace shone back	G
So in our hearts was alternating beat	F
With very dread elate	H
And Earth dyed all her day in colours of our fate	H
	-
But oh how faint the image we foretold	I
In fancies of our fear	J
Now that the truth is here	K
And we awake from dream yet think it still a dream	L
It bursts our thoughts with more than thought can hold	I
And more than human seem	L
These agonies of conflict Elements	C
At war yet not with vast indifference	C
Casually crushing nay	M
It is as if were hurled	N
Lightnings that murdered seeking out their prey	M
As if an earthquake shook to chaos half the world	N
Equal in purpose as in power to slay	M
And thunder stunned our ears	C
Streaming in rain of blood on torrents that are tears	C
	-
Around a planet rolls the drum's alarm	O
Far where the summer smiles	C
Upon the utmost isles	C
Danger is treading silent as a fever breath	A
Now in the North the secret waters arm	O
Under the wave is Death	A
They fight in the very air the virgin air	P
Hovering on fierce wings to the onset there	P
Nations to battle stream	L
Earth smokes and cities burn	Q
Heaven thickens in a storm of shells that scream	L
The long lines shattering break turn and again return	Q
And still across a continent they teem	L
Moving in myriads more	R
Than ranks of flesh and blood but soul with soul at war	R
	-
All the hells are awake the old serpents hiss	C
From dungeons of the mind	S
Fury of hate born blind	S
Madness and lust despairs and treacheries unclean	T
They shudder up from man's most dark abyss	C
But there are heavens serene	T
That answer strength with strength they stand secure	U
They arm us from within and we endure	U
Now are the brave more brave	V
Now is the cause more dear	J
The more the tempests of the darkness rave	V
As when the sun goes down the shining stars are clear	J
Radiant the spirit rushes to the grave	V
Glorious it is to live	W
In such an hour but life is lovelier yet to give	X
	-
Alas what comfort for the uncomforted	S
Who knew no cause nor sought	S
Glory or gain they are taught	S
Homeless in homes that burn what human hearts can bear	P
The children stumble over their dear dead	S
Wandering they know not where	P
And there is one who simply fights obeys	C
Tramps till he loses count of nights and days	C
Tired mired in dust and sweat	S
Far from his own hearth stone	Y
A common man of common earth and yet	S
The battle winner he a man of no renown	Z
Where food for cannon'' pays a nation's debt	S
This is Earth's hero whom	A2
The pride of Empire tosses careless to his doom	A2
	-
Now will we speak while we have eyes for tears	C
And fibres to be wrung	B2
And in our mouths a tongue	B2
We will bear wrongs untold but will not only bear	P
Not only bear but build through striving years	C
The answer of our prayer	P
That whosoever has the noble name	C2
Of man shall not be yoked to alien shame	C2
That life shall be indeed	S
Life not permitted breath	A
Of spirits wrenched and forced to others' need	S
Robbed of their nature's joy and free alone in death	A
The world shall travail in that cause shall bleed	S
But deep in hope it dwells	C
Until the morning break which the long night foretells	C
	-
O children filled with your own airy glee	D2
Or with a grief that comes	C
So swift so strange it numbs	C
If on your growing youth this page of terror bite	S
Harden not then your senses feel and be	D2
The promise of the light	S
O heirs of Man keep in your hearts not less	C
The divine torrents of his tenderness	C
'Tis ever war but rust	S
Grows on the sword the tale	E2
Of earth is strewn with empires heaped in dust	S
Because they dreamed that force should punish and prevail	E2
The will to kindness lives beyond their lust	S
Their grandeurs are undone	F2
Deep in man's suffering soul are all his victories won	F2
