Come Hugh and William of Marseilles,
With crafty words and fair;
IAN gain is loss;
For Holy Cross
Our ships with you we share
''Veni creator spiritusl'
The childish chant swells high.
The home shores fade,
But, undismayed,
Clear rings the children's cry:
Gods will! God s will!
Press forward still,
Win Palestine-or die!'
The tempest shrieks. the cordage creaks:
st. Peters Isles alec.
All torn and tossed
Two ships are lost,
The rest outride the sea.
But treachery steers and baseness guides
Where greed and gain are high;
Where slave marts wait
o, cruel fate!
There ends the childreu's cry:
Gods will! Gods will!
Press forward still,
Win Palestine-or die!''
All in the days of Long Ago
Failed thus the Boys Crusade;
But hope still starts
In youthful hearts
By old tales undismayed.
Yet if to valor forethought Joins,
Young souls great deeds may try,
And victory sweet
VIII duty meet
To crown the children's cry:
Gods will! Gods will!
Press forward still.
Win Palestine-or dieI''

SECOND PRIZE POEM.
THE BOYS CRUSADE.

BY Eldridge $. Brooks, Author of "Histori
Boys Etc.
Marseilles and the Mediterranean, A. D. I2I2.
o, many mothers tears flow fast,
A fathers bronzed cheek pales-
From Norman shore
To banks OF Loire,
From Paris to Marseilles.
For childish feet are crowding close,
And childish hopes are high,
And homes are left
And hearts beTeft
While rings the children's cry:
Gods viii; Gods will!
Press forward still.
Win Palestine-or die!''
Now twice ten thousand restless hearts
In restless longings beat;
In childish eyes
Deep trust there lies
To see the waves retreat;
Dry -shod they wait to cross the sea-
But still the waves run high.
Hopes rise and fall
But, over all,
Loud rings the childish cry:
Goods will! God S will
Press forward still,
Win Palestine-or die!''
