And walk with reason and with seif-coDtrol.
And then-dear Godl you men, you wise, strong men,
Our self-announced superiors in brain,
Our peers in Judgment, you go forth to war;
You leap at one another, mutilate
And starye and kill your iellow-men. and ask
The worlds applause for such heroic deeds.
You boast and strut; and if no song is sung,
No Mandatory epic writ in blood,
Telling how many widows you have made,
Why, then, perforce, you say our bards are dead.
And inspiration sleeps to wake no more.
And we, the women, We whose lives you are
What can we do but sit in silent homes
And wait and suffer ? Not for us the blare
of trumpets and the bugle's call to arms
For us no waving banners, no supreme,
Triumphant hour OF conquest. Ours the slow
Dead torture of uncertainty, each day
The bootless battle with the same despair.
And when at best your victories reach our ears,
There reaches with them to our plying hearts
The thought of countless homes made desolate,
And other women weeping for their dead.
o men, wise men, superior beings, say,
Is there no substitute for war in this
Great age and era II you answer mo-"
Then let us rear our children to be wolves,
And teach them from the cradle how to kill.
Why should we women waste our time and words
In talking peace when men declare for war
