JIMMY DOANE
OFTEN I think of you, Jimmy Doane,— You who, light-heartedly, came to my house Three autumns, to shoot and to eat a grouse!
As I sat apart in this quiet room, My mind was full of the horror of war And not with the hope of a visitor.
​I had dined on food that had lost its taste; My soul was cold and I wished you were here, When, all in a moment, I knew you were near.
Placing that chair where you used to sit, I looked at my book:—Three years to-day Since you laughed in that seat and I heard you say
"My country is with you, whatever befall: America—Britain—these two are akin In courage and honour; they underpin
"The rights of Mankind!" Then you grasped my hand With a brotherly grip, and you made me feel Something that Time would surely reveal.
You were comely and tall; you had corded arms, And sympathy's grace with your strength was blent; You were generous, clever, and confident.
There was that in your hopes which uncountable lives Have perished to make; your heart was fulfilled With the breath of God that can never be stilled.
A living symbol of power, you talked Of the work to do in the world to make Life beautiful: yes, and my heartstrings ache
To think how you, at the stroke of War, Chose that your steadfast soul should fly With the eagles of France as their proud ally.
You were America's self, dear lad— The first swift son of your bright, free land To heed the call of the Inner Command—
To image its spirit in such rare deeds As braced the valour of France, who knows That the heart of Amerca thrills with her woes.
​For a little leaven leavens the whole! Mostly we find, when we trouble to seek The soul of a people, that some unique,
Brave man is its flower and symbol, who Makes bold to utter the words that choke The throats of feebler, timider folk.
You flew for the western eagle—and fell Doing great things for your country's pride: For the beauty and peace of life you died.
Britain and France have shrined in their souls Your memory, yes, and for ever you share Their love with their perished lords of the air.
Invisible now, in that empty seat, You sit, who came through the clouds to me, Swift as a message from over the sea.
My house is always open to you: Dear Spirit, come often and you will find Welcome, where mind can foregather with mind!
And may we sit together one day Quietly here, when a word is said To bring new gladness unto our dead,
Knowing your dream is a dream no more; And seeing on some momentous pact Your vision upbuilt as a deathless fact.

KAISER AND COUNCILLOR
(On First Looking into Bernhardi's "The Next War")
I
THROUGH what dark pass to what place in the sun Dost thou, misguided Moses, lead this folk? What rest remains when wayfaring is done? What clearer skies beyond the cannon-smoke? Say not he triumphs, though his trampling host, That knows above his nation's lust no law, From inland village to the fearful coast Still treads the peaceful peoples red and raw. Nay, pity him the banded friends abhor, Who sees—the tragic fool and slave of state— Behind him stretch the sterile wastes of war, Before, a widening wilderness of hate, While all the world lifts up one wrathful cry To give this Prussian Machiavel the lie.
II
White mouths that clamour for the unreaped wheat, Frail hands that clasp the unresponsive dead, Brave Belgian hearts, unconquered in defeat, Dispeopled, exiled King: be comforted. Though we close not the assaulted gates of sense To shrieking towns, the gurgle of great ships In drowning agonies, the fields immense Horrid with shuddering limbs and writhen lips, ​Yet since your woe has wrought this lift and swell Of worldwide pity, love and chivalry, We say the awful sacrifice is well. The old law holds; on this new Calvary Humanity, uplifted, crucified, Still draws all hearts unto its wounded side.

KINGS
THE Kings of the earth are men of might, And cities are burned for their delight, And the skies rain death in the silent night, And the hills belch death all day!
But the King of Heaven, Who made them all, Is fair and gentle, and very small; He lies in the straw, by the oxen's stall— Let them think of Him to-day!

KITCHENER
THERE is wild water from the north; The headlands darken in their foam As with a threat of challenge stubborn earth Booms at that far wild sea-line charging home.
The night shall stand upon the shifting sea As yesternight stood there, And hear the cry of waters through the air, The iron voice of headlands start and rise— The noise of winds for mastery That screams to hear the thunder in those cries. But now henceforth there shall be heard From Brough of Bursay, Marwick Head, And shadows of the distant coast, Another voice bestirred— Telling of something greatly lost Somewhere below the tidal glooms, and dead. ​Beyond the uttermost Of aught the night may hear on any seas From tempest-known wild water's cry, and roar Of iron shadows looming from the shore, It shall be heard—and when the Orcades Sleep in a hushed Atlantic's starry folds As smoothly as, far down below the tides, Sleep on the windless broad sea-wolds Where this night's shipwreck hides.
By many a sea-holm where the shock Of ocean's battle falls, and into spray Gives up its ghosts of strife; by reef and rock Ravaged by their eternal brute affray With monstrous frenzies of their shore's green foe; Where overstream and overfall and undertow Strive, snatch away; A wistful voice, without a sound, Shall dwell beside Pomona, on the sea, And speak the homeward and the outward-bound, And touch the helm of passing minds And bid them steer as wistfully— Saying: "He did great work, until the winds And waters hereabout that night betrayed Him to the drifting death! His work went on— He would not be gainsaid. . . . Though where his bones are, no man knows, not one!
John Helston
# A treasury of war poetry, British and American poems of the world war, 1914-1919/Kitchener's March

KITCHENER'S MARCH
NOT the muffled drums for him Nor the wailing of the fife. Trumpets blaring to the charge Were the music of his life. Let the music of his death Be the feet of marching men. Let his heart a thousandfold Take the field again!
​Of his patience, of his calm, Of his quiet faithfulness, England, build your hero's cairn! He was worthy of no less. Stone by stone, in silence laid, Singly, surely, let it grow. He whose living was to serve Would have had it so.
There's a body drifting down For the mighty sea to keep. There's a spirit cannot die While one heart is left to leap In the land he gave his all, Steeled alike to praise and hate. He has saved the life he spent— Death has struck too late.
Not the muffled drums for him Nor the wailing of the fife— Trumpets blaring to the charge Were the music of his life. Let the music of his death Be the feet of marching men. Let his heart a thousandfold Take the field again!

LAMENT
WE who are left, how shall we look again Happily on the sun, or feel the rain, Without remembering how they who went Ungrudgingly and spent Their all for us, loved, too, the sun and rain?
A bird among the rain wet lilac sings— But we, how shall we turn to little things And listen to the birds and winds and streams Made holy by their dreams, Nor feel the heart-break in the heart of things?

# A Frog’s Fate

Contemptuous of his home beyond The village and the village-pond, A large-souled Frog who spurned each byeway Hopped along the imperial highway.
Nor grunting pig nor barking dog Could disconcert so great a Frog. The morning dew was lingering yet, His sides to cool, his tongue to wet: The night-dew, when the night should come, A travelled Frog would send him home.
Not so, alas! The wayside grass Sees him no more: not so, alas! A broad-wheeled waggon unawares Ran him down, his joys, his cares. From dying choke one feeble croak The Frog’s perpetual silence broke: – “Ye buoyant Frogs, ye great and small, Even I am mortal after all! My road to fame turns out a wry way; I perish on the hideous highway; Oh for my old familiar byeway!”
The choking Frog sobbed and was gone; The Waggoner strode whistling on. Unconscious of the carnage done, Whistling that Waggoner strode on – Whistling (it may have happened so) “A froggy would a-wooing go.” A hypothetic frog trolled he, Obtuse to a reality.
O rich and poor, O great and small, Such oversights beset us all. The mangled Frog abides incog, The uninteresting actual frog: The hypothetic frog alone Is the one frog we dwell upon.

# A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Allen, Samuel

Layout 4
​ALLEN. (Lieut. 1807. f-p., 20; h-p., 31.)
Samuel Allen was born, 5 Nov. 1781, at New Ross, co. Wexford.
This officer entered the Navy, 1 June, 1796, as A. B., on board the Savage 16, commanded on the Home station by his uncle, Capt. Grosvenor Winkworth. In Dec. following, he became Midshipman of the Overyssel 64, bearing the flag in the Dowtns of Admiral Joseph Peyton; on afterwards removing from which ship to the Romney 50, Capt. Joseph Peyton, he accompanied the expedition to Holland in 1799. In Oct. 1802, Mr. Allen obtained an Acting-Lieutenancy in the Sheerness, Capts. John Surman Garden, Sir Jas. Lind, and Lord Geo. Stuart, on the East India station, where he was wrecked in a gale of wind, off Trincomalee, 7 Jan. 1805. After officiating for a short period as Lieutenant of the Naval Hospital at Madras, he next, in July following, joined, again as Acting-Lieutenant, the Fox 32, Capt. Hon. Archibald Cochrane; while under whom he assisted at the destruction of a Dutch brig-of-war under the batteries of Batavia – commanded one of two boats at the cutting out of a brig of 4 guns, and six sail of coasters, from beneath another battery on the Java shore – and witnessed the annihilation at Griessee, 11 Dec. 1807, of the dockyard and stores, and of all the men-of-war remaining to Holland in the East Indies. Mr. Allen, whose promotion was at length confirmed by commission dated on 19 of the latter month, removed, in July, 1808, to the Caroline 36, Capts. Chas. Gordon and Christ. Cole, in which frigate he continued until Jan. 1812. In Nov. 1809, we find him attending an expedition; against the pirates of the Persian Gulf, where he commanded a boat at the destruction of the town of Kas-al-Khyma, their principal stronghold. At the celebrated capture, in August, 1810, of the island of Banda Neira, Lieut. Allen was among the foremost to escalade the walls of the Castle of Belgica, and for his conduct on that occasion was mentioned by Capt. Cole in his despatches. While yet in the Caroline, he contributed, as her Senior Lieutenant, to the reduction of Java, in Aug. 1811. In Dec. 1813, having been transferred to the Horatio 38, Capt. Lord Geo. Stuart, he assisted at the capture of the Dutch islands of Schouwen and Tholen. He afterwards served, from Feb. 1814, to Jan. 1816, in the Newcastle 50; commanded by the last-mentioned officer on the North America and West India station; but he has not been since employed.
Lieut. Allen married, 4 Dec. 1839, and has issue three sons and one daughter.

​ALLEN. (Ret. Capt., 1840. f-p., 15; h-p., 39.)
Charles Allen, born 22 July, 1779, at Blackheath, co. Kent, is son of the late Wm. Allen, Esq., of the Stamp Office, a Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital.
This officer entered the Navy, 7 May, 1793, as Captain’s Servant, on board the Diomede 44, Capt. Matthew Smith, and was in that ship when she struck on a sunken rock and was lost, off Trincomalee, 2 Aug. 1795. Joining, then, the Heroine 32, Capt. Alan Hyde Gardner, he co-operated in the ensuing reduction of the Dutch settlements in the island of Ceylon. He was ultimately promoted, from the Suffolk 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Peter Kainier, to a Lieutenancy, 18 June, 1799, in the Victorious 74, Capts. Wm. Clark and Pulteney Malcolm; after which, on his return from the East Indies, he joined, 29 July, 1803, the Spencer 74, Capt. Hon. Robt. Stopford, obtained command, in Nov. 1804, of the Signal station at Selsea, and was next appointed, 26 July, 1805, and 2 June, 1808, to the Thetis 38, Capt. Wm. Hall Gage, and Bellerophon 74, Capt. Sam. Warren. On 7 July, 1809, in consequence of the death of the gallant Lieut. Joseph Hawkey, who fell early in the action, Mr. Allen succeeded to the command of the boats of the latter ship, and of the Implacable 74, Melpomene 38, and Prometheus 18, seventeen in number, containing about 270 officers and men, in the course of a dashing attack on a Russian flotilla of 8 gunboats and 12 merchantmen, carrying altogether double the complement of men, lying at anchor under Porcola Point, on the coast of Finland, and centred between two rocks, from the summits of which they were protected by a shower of grape. Notwithstanding all this, six of the gun-boats were irresistibly boarded and carried, another was sunk, and the whole convoy, with a large armed ship, captured. The loss of the British amounted to 17 men killed and 37 wounded : that of the Russians is reported to have been at least 63 killed, and a proportionate number wounded. For this daring and most important achievement, Lieut. Allen received the sincere thanks of the Commander-in-Chief, and a Commander’s commission bearing date the day of the action. Unable, however, to procure further employment, he at length retired with the rank of Captain, 10 Sept. 1840.

Graves, on the Mediterranean station, where he took a very active part in the survey of the Grecian Archipelago, without receiving any remuneration, and was present at the capture of 144 pirates off the island of Thasos. On leaving the Beacon, he served for three years as Assistant-Surveyor to Capt. Fred.Wm.

​ALLEN. (Vice-Admiral, of the Blue, 1846. f-p., 17; h-p., 43.)
John Allen (a) entered the Navy, 12 Feb. 1787, on board the Sybil, Capt.Rich. Bickerton, on the West India station; and from 1790 until Oct. 1793, served in the Boyne 98, Capt. Geo Bowyer, and Impregnable and Assistance, flag-ships at Plymouth and Newfoundland of Sir Rich. Bickerton and Sir Rich. King. Removing then to the Penelope 32, he assisted, in company with the Iphigenia 32, at the capture, off St. Domingo, 25 Nov. foUowing, of the French 36-gun frigate L’Inconstante, after a close action of half an hour, in which the Penelope had one man killed and seven, including himself, wounded. Mr. Allen, who obtained a Lieutenancy, on 10 Dec. in the same year, in the Convert 36, Capt. John Lawford, was unfortunately wrecked, in the West Indies, 8 March, 1794; after which event he became successively attached to the Iris 32, Capt. Wm. Hargood, on the North America and Africa stations, and London 98, flagship in the Channel of Sir John Colpoys. Assuming the rank of Commander, 6 Dec. 1796, he next, between Feb. 1798 and Nov. 1799, served in the Childers, Alecto, and Echo sloops, in the latter of which, on the Jamaica station, he captured, 3 July, 1799, L’Amazon, French letter of marque, of 10 guns and 60 men. He was posted 29 April, 1802, but did not again go afloat until 17 Jan. 1810, when he joined the Franchise 36. After visiting Newfoundland, he proceeded to the Mediterranean, and was there transferred, 1 Aug. 1811, to the Rodney 74. He returned to England in April, 1812, as Captain of the Perlen 38, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Chas. Boyles. During the last two years of the war, Capt. Allen officiated as Agent for Prisoners of War at Newfoundland. This was his last employment. His promotion to the rank of Rear-Admiral took place 17 Aug. 1840; and to that he now holds 9 Nov. 1846.
The Vice-Admiral is in the receipt of a pension for wounds of 250l. He is married and has issue.
