"A Soldiers' Song" was composed in 1907, with words by Peadar Kearney and music by Kearney and Patrick Heeney. The text was first published in Irish Freedom by Bulmer Hobson in 1912. It was used as marching song by the Irish Volunteers and was sung by rebels in the General Post Office (GPO) during the Easter Rising of 1916. The "Soldiers' Song" remained popular as an Army tune, and was played at many military functions.
The Irish translation was written by Liam Ó Rinn, and was printed in the Freeman's Journal on 3 April 1923, under Ó Rinn's pen name "Coinneach". It may have been written as early as 1917.
It should be noted that, in the English version of the chorus, the Irish "bhearna bhaoil" is sung instead of the English translation "gap of danger". The Irish is roughly pronounced "vahr-na veel", which fits more easily into the English rhyming scheme. It should be noted, however, that the English version of the song is rarely sung.

Patriotic song of World War I, with tune by Joseph A. Burke
A mother's last words To ev'ry soldier "kneel down at night and say your prayers" But he's so weary, Thro'days so dreary, After all his trails and cares, Don't worry mother, He serves his Maker when he serves his country's needs. No matter where each act is a pray'r and they form the links up on a soldier's beads.
When bells are tolling Our hearts consoling we seek the chapel o'er the way When cannons thunder Would we I wonder Ever take the time to pray, The foe before him, No shelter o'er him overhead the cold stars shine. His Maker knows as onward he goes
that his pray'r is better far than yours or mine."
Chorus For his thoughts keep returning homeward and their pray'rs come drifting back that's his chaplet
and his guide to victory, But bullets are his beads and on his knees he pleads that each one will help to end the misery, Ev'ry shot a pearl, each pearl a pray'r he fights untill he falls, "Lost in action" comes the message o'er the sea. And while the nation mourns his loss his dear old mother bears the cross that's a soldier's rosary.

# A Smuggler's Song

From Puck of Pook's Hill (1906), where it accompanies the story "Hal o' the Draft".
A SMUGGLERS' SONG
If you wake at midnight, and hear a horse's feet, Don't go drawing back the blind, or looking in the street, Them that ask no questions isn't told a lie. Watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by! Five and twenty ponies, Trotting through the dark— Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk; Laces for a lady, letters for a spy, And watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by!
Running round the woodlump if you chance to find Little barrels, roped and tarred, all full of brandy-wine, Don't you shout to come and look, nor use 'em for your play. Put the brishwood back again—and they'll be gone next day!
If you see the stableyard setting open wide; If you see a tired horse lying down inside; If your mother mends a coat cut about and tore; If the lining's wet and warm—don't you ask no more!
If you meet King George's men, dressed in blue and red, You be careful what you say, and mindful what is said. If they call you 'pretty maid,' and chuck you 'neath the chin, Don't you tell where no one is, nor yet where no one's been!
Knocks and footsteps round the house—whistles after dark— You've no call for running out till the house-dogs bark. Trusty's here, and Pincher's here, and see how dumb they lie— They don't fret to follow when the Gentlemen go by!
If you do as you've been told, 'likely there's a chance, You'll be given a dainty doll, all the way from France, With a cap of Valenciennes, and a velvet hood— A present from the Gentlemen, along o' being good! Five and twenty ponies, Trotting through the dark— Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk; Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie— Watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by!

# A Soldier

As rendered in The Bellman (20 July 1918):
A SOLDIER
Dear God, I raised my boy to be a soldier; I tried to make him strong of will and true; I told him many a tale of deeds heroic— The noblest and the sweetest tales I knew.
In thought, he shared the charge at Balaclava, With the Swiss Guard, o'ermastered coward Death, With Gordon all renounced, with Scott and Peary Breathed in his ardent youth heroic breath.
A little lad, he wept for wounded Sidney, For Bayard, sans reproche, who knew no fears, Yet, hurt himself, if one but said,—"My Soldier!"— Straightaway he smiled and swallowed down his tears.
I taught him that the brave are full of mercy; That gentleness and love to strength belong; That honour is the only High adventure, And goodness the one everlasting song!
And so I raised my boy to be a Soldier: A patriot soldier, brave, devoted, free! And now, and now,—with grateful trust, O Father! I give him to my Country and to Thee!

# A Problem in Greek Ethics/Chapter XX

XX.
Greece merged into Rome; but, though the Romans aped the arts and manners of the Greeks, they never truly caught the Hellenic spirit. Even Virgil only trod the court of the Gentiles of Greek culture. It was not, therefore, possible that any social custom so peculiar as paiderastia should flourish on Latin soil. Instead of Cleomenes and Epameinondas, we find at Rome, Nero, the bride of Sporus, and Commodus the public prostitute. Alcibiades is replaced by the Mark Antony of Cicero's Philippic. Corydon, with artificial notes, takes up the song of Ageanax. The melodies of Meleager are drowned in the harsh discords of Martial. Instead of love, lust was the deity of the boy-lover on the shores of Tiber.
In the first century of the Roman Empire, Christianity began its work of reformation. When we estimate the effect of Christianity, we must bear in mind that the early Christians found Paganism disorganised and humanity rushing to a precipice of ruin. Their first efforts were directed toward ​checking the sensuality of Corinth, Athens, Rome, the capitals of Syria and Egypt. Christian asceticism, in the corruption of the Pagan systems, led logically to the cloister and the hermitage. The component elements of society had been disintegrated by the Greeks in their decadence, and by the Romans in their insolence of material prosperity. To the impassioned followers of Christ, nothing was left but separation from nature, which had become incurable in its monstrosity of vices. But the convent was a virtual abandonment of social problems.
From this policy of despair, this helplessness to cope with evil, and this hopelessness of good on earth, emerged a new and nobler synthesis, the merit of which belongs in no small measure to the Teutonic converts to the Christian faith. The Middle Ages proclaimed, through chivalry, the truth, then for the first time fully apprehended, that woman is the mediating and ennobling element in human life. Not in escape into the cloister, not in the self-abandonment to vice, but in the fellow-service of free men and women must be found the solution of social problems. The mythology of Mary gave religious sanction to the chivalrous enthusiasm; and a cult of woman sprang into being, to which, although it was romantic and visionary, we owe the spiritual basis of our domestic and civil life. The modus vivendi of the modern world was found.

First published in the July 1919 issue of The Liberator and subsequently republished Workers' Dreadnought (September 6, 1920);
* A Roman Holiday
* 'Tis but a modern Roman holiday;
* Each state invokes its soul of basest passion,
* Each vies with each to find the ugliest way
* To torture Negroes in the fiercest fashion.
* Black Southern men, like hogs await your doom!
* White wretches hunt and haul you from your huts,
* They squeeze the babies out your women's womb,
* They cut your members off, rip out your guts!
* It is a Roman holiday, and worse,
* It is the mad beast risen from his lair,
* The dead accusing years' eternal curse.
* Reeking of vengeance, in fulfilment here.
* Bravo, Democracy! Hail greatest Power
* That saved sick Europe in her darkest hour!
