[Lines dedicated to one of her priests, by whose words they were prompted.] [Reprinted by permission of the Proprietors of Punch.]
LAND of the desolate, Mother of tears, Weeping your beauty marred and torn, Your children tossed upon the spears, Your altars rent, your hearths forlorn, Where Spring has no renewing spell, And Love no language save a long Farewell!
Ah, precious tears, and each a pearl Whose price—for so in God we trust Who saw them fall in that blind swirl Of ravening flame and reeking dust— The spoiler with his life shall pay, When Justice at the last demands her Day.
​O tried and proved, whose record stands Lettered in blood too deep to fade, Take courage! Never in our hands Shall the avenging sword be stayed Till you are healed of all your pain, And come with Honour to your own again.

TO FELLOW TRAVELLERS IN GREECE
March—September, 1914
'TWAS in the piping time of peace We trod the sacred soil of Greece, Nor thought, where the Ilissus runs, Of Teuton craft or Teuton guns;
Nor dreamt that, ere the year was spent, Their iron challenge insolent Would round the world's horizons pour, From Europe to the Australian shore.
The tides of war had ebb'd away From Trachis and Thermopylæ, Long centuries had come and gone Since that fierce day at Marathon;
Freedom was firmly based, and we Wall'd by our own encircling sea; The ancient passions dead, and men Battl'd with ledger and with pen.
So seem'd it, but to them alone The wisdom of the gods is known; Lest freedom's price decline, from far Zeus hurl'd the thunderbolt of war.
And so once more the Persian steel The armies of the Greeks must feel, And once again a Xerxes know The virtue of a Spartan foe.
​Thus may the cloudy fates unroll'd Retrace the starry circles old, And the recurrent heavens decree A Periclean dynasty.

TO FRANCE
THOSE who have stood for thy cause when the dark was around thee, Those who have pierced through the shadows and shining have found thee, Those who have held to their faith in thy courage and power, Thy spirit, thy honour, thy strength for a terrible hour, Now can rejoice that they see thee in light and in glory, Facing whatever may come as an end to the story In calm undespairing, with steady eyes fixed on the morrow— The morn that is pregnant with blood and with death and with sorrow.
And whether the victory crowns thee, O France the eternal, Or whether the smoke and the dusk of a nightfall infernal Gather about thee, and us, and the foe; and all treasures Run with the flooding of war into bottomless measures— Fall what befalls: in this hour all those who are near thee And all who have loved thee, they rise and salute and revere thee!

TO ITALY
THOU art the world's desired, the golden fleece Of Time's adventurers faring down to Hell, But Helen's self dwelt not so far from peace Nor so beset since lofty Ilium fell. Tyrants would pluck thee as men pluck a rose, Carthage and Greece, the Vandal and the Goth: Now more are added to thy many foes From East and West, ay, thou hast suffered both.
Greece was enslaved, and Carthage is but dust, But thou art living, maugre all thy scars, To bear fresh wounds of rapine and of lust, Immortal victim of unnumbered wars. Nor shalt thou cease until we cease to be Whose hearts are thine, belovèd Italy.

TO RUPERT BROOKE
THOUGH we, a happy few, Indubitably knew That from the purple came This poet of pure flame,
The world first saw his light Flash on an evil night, And heard his song from far Above the drone of war.
Out of the primal dark He leapt, like lyric lark, Singing his aubade strain; Then fell to earth again.
We garner all he gave, And on his hero grave, For love and honour strew, Rosemary, myrtle, rue.
Son of the Morning, we Had kept you thankfully; But yours the asphodel: Hail, singer, and farewell!

TO SOME WHO HAVE FALLEN
SPRING is God's season; may you see His Spring Somewhere, the larch and ash buds burgeoning, Round catkin tassels and the blossomed spine Of blackthorn, and the golden celandine, And little rainwashed violet leaves unfurled To deck young April in another world.
We cannot know how much a dead man hears, What awful music of the distant spheres, But you may linger still, you may not be Too far from us to share the ecstasy Of all the larks that nest upon our hills, Or miss the flowering of the daffodils.
Since if, as some folks say, ourselves do make Our Heaven, yours will hold, for old times' sake, The farms and orchards that you left behind, Steep lichened roofs, and rutted lanes that wind Through green lush meadows up from Wealden towns To the bare beauty of our Sussex Downs.

GRAVE hour and solemn choice—bare is the sword. From the raised altar, kneeling, take the blade. Be its grasp eucharist and accolade; High be, and holy, lest thou creep abhorred. Bethink thee—to the angel of the Lord, None baser, was the slayer's right conveyed: Of thine own soul, no other's, be afraid; The hilts of brands are lethal, and have scored On palms once white the unhealing scar of crime. Honour with fortune, purity with weal, Hang trembling in the wind-blown scale of Mars: Earth is thy judge; the listening deeps of time Are witness, and yon azure's probing wheel, And vigils of inexorable stars.

"Be thou but true"—old words which years renew— Nor suffer blood-gout nor flame's darkling glow To touch thy heart's inviolable snow. Go as a nun through bordels. Be thou true! Let the sun's glance, even as on rose and dew, Rest on thy sabre. Wraths and greeds forego Lest skies pale, and thy recreancy know, Too late, yon cope's estranged, receding blue. Nor clamp free tongues! Hast thou yet steel to spare For fetters? Does the sword-arm clank the chain? Be strong to conquer, mighty to forbear; Bind us, ay, bind us—but with prayer and pain, With greatening purpose, till new love, set free— Love that we dreamt not, dared not—soar to thee!

TO MY BROTHER
THIS will I do when we have peace again, Peace and return, to ease my heart of pain. Crouched in the brittle reed-beds, wrapt in grey, I'll watch the dawning of the winter's day, The peaceful, clinging darkness of the night That mingles with mysterious morning light, And graceful rushes melting in the haze; While all around in winding waterways, The wildfowl gabble cheerfully and low, Or wheel with pulsing whistle to and fro, Filling the silent down with joyous song, Swelling and dying as they sweep along; ​Till shadows of vague trees deceive the eyes, And stealthily the sun begins to rise, Striving to smear with pink the frosted sky, And pierce the silver mists' opacity; Until the hazy silhouettes grow clear, And faintest hints of colouring appear, And the slow, throbbing, red, distorted sun Reaches the sky, and all the large mists run, Leaving the little ones to wreathe and shiver, Pathetic, clinging to the friendly river; Until the watchful heron, grim and gaunt, Shows ghostlike, standing at his chosen haunt, And jerkily the moorhens venture out, Spreading swift-circled ripples round about, And softly to the ear, and leisurely, Querulous, comes the plaintive plover's cry; And then maybe some whispering near by, Some still small sound as of a happy sigh, Shall steal upon my senses soft as air, And, brother! I shall know that you are there.
And in the lazy summer nights I'll glide Silently down the sleepy river's tide, Listening to the music of the stream, The plop of ponderously playful bream, The water whispering around the boat, And from afar the white owl's liquid note, Lingering through the stillness soft and slow, Watching the little yacht's red, homely glow, Her vague reflection, and her clean-cut spars, Ink-black against the silverness of the stars, Stealthily slipping into nothingness; While on the river's moon-splashed surfaces, Tall shadows sweep. Then when I go to rest It may be that my slumbers will be blessed By the faint sound of your untroubled breath, Proving your presence near, in spite of death.

TO MY DAUGHTER BETTY, THE GIFT OF GOD
(Elizabeth Dorothy)
IN wiser days, my darling rosebud, blown To beauty proud as was your mother's prime, In that desired, delayed, incredible time, You'll ask why I abandoned you, my own, And the dear heart that was your baby throne, To dice with death. And oh! they'll give you rhyme And reason: some will call the thing sublime, And some decry it in a knowing tone. So here, while the mad guns curse overhead, And tired men sigh with mud for couch and floor, Know that we fools, now with the foolish dead, Died not for flag, nor King, nor Emperor, But for a dream, born in a herdsman's shed, And for the secret Scripture of the poor.

YE sleepers, who will sing you? We can but give our tears— Ye dead men, who shall bring you Fame in the coming years? Brave souls . . . but who remembers The fame that fired your embers? . . . Deep, deep the sleep that holds you Who one time had no peers.
Yet maybe Fame's but seeming And praise you'd set aside, Content to go on dreaming, Yea, happy to have died If of all things you prayed for— All things your valour paid for— One prayer is not forgotten, One purchase not denied.
But God grants your dear England A strength that shall not cease Till she have won for all the Earth From ruthless men release, And made supreme upon her Mercy and Truth and Honour— Is this the thing you died for? Oh, Brothers, sleep in peace!

​TULLOH. (Retired Commander, 1846. f-p., 12; h-p., 34.)
William Izod Tulloh is brother of Retired Commander Chas. Tulloh, R.N.
This officer entered the Navy, 23 April, 1801, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board La Venture 14, Lieut.-Commanders Birdwood and Jump, lying at Appledore; and from June, 1802, until received, in Nov. 1807, on board the Salvador del Mundo, Capt. Wolley, stationed at Plymouth, was employed, a great part of the time as Midshipman, in the Galatea 32 and Aigle 36, both commanded by Capt. Geo. Wolfe. In the Galatea he was engaged in conveying troops from Guernsey to Holland and to different parts of England. While serving in the Aigle he escorted convoy home from Oporto; assisted at the capture of L’Alert privateer of 16 guns and 90 men, and at the destruction, 12 July, 1804, on the coast of France, of La Charente of 20 and La Joie of 8 guns; united in Aug. 1805 in Admiral Hon. Wm. Cornwallis’ pursuit of the French fleet into Brest and took part in the ensuing Sept. in an action off Vigo, in which the Aigle, after an hour’s cannonade, captured one and defeated the rest of a flotilla of nine gun-boats by whom she had been attacked. He was present too, in the early part of 1806, at the capture, with some loss to the British, of two out of a squadron of gun-boats, each armed with a long 4-pounder and a 12-pounder cohorn, which had come through the Passage du Raz. Towards the close of ​the same year he succeeded, in command of a boat, in driving on shore, under a heavy fire of musketry, an enemy’s supply and despatch boat, armed with a cohorn. On 16 Oct. 1808, at which period he had been for 10 months serving on the coast of North America in the Swiftsure 74, flag-ship of Sir John Borlase Warren, he was made Lieutenant into the Horatio 38, Capt. Geo. Scott, on the same station; where he was appointed, in the ensuing Nov. and in Aug. 1810, First of the Halifax 18, Capts. Lord Jas. Townshend, John Thompson, and Alex. Fraser, and Fantome 20, Capt. John Lawrence. In the latter vessel, which he left in Sept. 1811, he also cruized in the North Sea. His last appointments were, 25 Oct. 1813 and 7 Sept. 1814, to the Montagu 74, Capt. Peter Heywood, and, as First-Lieutenant, to the Banterer 14, Capt. Chas. Warde, on the North Sea and Irish stations. He commanded the boats of the Montagu for three months between Walcheren and South Beveland, with nothing during that period to sleep on but a few signal-flags. The hardships he then underwent had the effect, after he had joined the Banterer, of producing paralysis, of depriving him of the use of his limbs, and of greatly impairing the sight of his left eye. He invalided in consequence 28 Nov. 1814. He accepted the rank of Retired Commander 27 Jan. 1846.
Commander Tulloh married, first, in 1812, Mary, daughter of the Rev. F. Reynett, of Waterford; and secondly, 12 July, 1830, Elizabeth, daughter of Wm. Morris, Esq., J. P., of Harbour View, co. Waterford, by whom he has issue one daughter. By his former wife he had issue seven children.
