A red haze hung over the mountain,

A lone woman wept DER a baby that slept
And tho grain lay unground at the mill;
A pillow IN the half cloven furrow.

While over II all hung the stiffness, a pail,
And the haze DER the mountain blood

A haze. bloody red. all the landscape Ger
spread
And the valleys deserted and stir:
The earth at the seedtime unbroken,
The fields az the harvest ungleaned.
And lone vigil kept by a woman who wept
With a babe at her bosom unweaned.
Then down from the mountain a horse
Dashed. plumed and sworded ana mail.

Nor heard he the moan of the woman
alone
Nor saw he the grain all unnailed.
ITO armsr' for the battle was bloody;
ITO armsl" for the columns were thin
And over the land rang his brazen COM
For his horse wore the wings of the
wind
Then fatheriess lads from their novels
Went shouldering ponderous guns.
And old men and gray tottered weakly
away
To ind the rude graves or their sons
For country is higher than kindred.
And what is the glory OF sod
Unwet by the flood OF It's yeomen's red
blood7
And war-is It not more than GodP
SO women with babes at their bosoms
Gazed out Ger the burrows untitled
Through tho haze resting red like the

In a faraway struggle unwilled.
And eyes that are swollen and anguished
Uplifted In silent appeal;

When thy monarchs know naught but
OF steel7'
