inal poem written for the occasion:
THE WAR RECORD
There is o book wherein 'tis plainly written,
(An2 not by human hands,,
A tale OF wars. back from the earliest ages
And in that book are strange barbaric
figures
And knights In shining steel
The naked NubiGn from the jungle glowers
And Roman legions wheel.
The Psynm spear and cheltean battle axe
From where great Priam fell
OF bgotry, and lust, and low ambition
1t has one tale TO tell.
Of gods, and kings, and slaves we read and
wonder
TIL like a beacon, shining in the darkness,
We find one page TO scan.
For whatdo we care fQr creeds ana kings
For creeds and kings II we dief
What profits IL us II we're laid In the
That a priest or king is on highY
Now shines the page on which the tale is told
That kings have had their day
That every mans king, lord OF his glebe
And ghosts have gone astray.
Far from the Aryan fold, on shores hes
Our slres signed the deed,
That made IA thing OF force ana circumstance
An idle dIeailer's creed.
The morning stars toge yher sang for joy
The hills they clapped their hands;
For man, enslayed since earth was young
Had ioossd Ills ancient bands.
There came a day when human words were
And men we're called 90 arms,
When yeomen Kissed their uifcs long fare
well
For mercIless war alarms.
And ia their bloody sweat and mortal pain
The men OF low degree
Made rock the thrones that Caste had built
up
And set their country free.
On saratOga's field and Monmouth's plain
The COntlnentals died
Forgot their kith ana kin ana all llfe's joys
Rene ember we these days Of ancient glory
As every year goes by
Days that snail llVe ana shlne forever III

AS long as bondmen cry
For what do we care for creeds end
For creeds ard kings II we dle1
What profits il uslif we'er laid In the grave
