Excerpt from The Flag and Other Poems: 1918

Though worlds are trembling round me and freedom is at stake.

Because I have no sorrows, because my heart's at rest, I cannot weep with others, whose hearts are not so blest; I tremble for no hero upon the fields of France, I cannot curse the Nero who planned this gory dance.

Excerpt from The Flag and Other Poems: 1918

The British Lands.

The tie that binds the British lands
Is never spun of tyrant's might;
Of fair replies to just demands,
Of compromise whenever right
Is spun the fibre of its strands,
A mighty Empire to unite.

A symbol is our gracious King
Of British unity of heart,
A simple man to whom we cling,
Of all good men the counterpart.
We sing to God to "Save the King,"
And mean thereby ourselves in part.

The people of the British lands
Are masters of their future fate,
By effort of their mind and hands
They glorify their Empire State,
And, as the bud of thought expands,
Can make new laws by calm debate.
