GLEANINGs FROM
THE HARVEST

I THE HARVEST |
i sit and read each story of the
slaughter,
And watch each army in the mon
strous game;
1 ponder not on conqueror or van
- pushed,
And wonder only who Or what's to
II look on high above the roar and
.~f clashing,
And turn my gaze upon a thrilling
sight
.Alas it's not the wave of. proud flung
banners,
But just the vultures in their cir
- cling flight.
4 drive my, hearing through the can
non thunder,
And Internationally catch a strain
OF sound more stirring than the blare
of trumpets-
~ I hear the grooming of the almost
slain.
I peer through every veil of smoke
and censor
Yet see no Hun or Tartar at the
gate.
I only see the blinded toiling millions
Whipped to fury with the scourage
Of Hate.
q see them driven by their frenzied
masters,
And spurred like hounds to wrangle
.z DER a bone.)
All! would these fools would turn
upon their masters.
And MAIN and tear them, as they
do their own.
see the starved babe pleading with
it's mother
Pleading with bleeding shape of
clod
, see the king a-kneeling in his pal
Praying to his bankers and to
I see the soldier praying for his loved
(Mayhap-the starving babe-the
g. bleeding clod-)
And prays to all his olden saints and
And .prays and get no answer from
his God
Gets no answer save the roar of can
non,
And hears no word except the
shrieking she'll
And yet perhaps this ripping, tear
ing bullet
May be the truth of. God. But who
can tell?
! see the cities, once so proud and
joyous,
Raced to wretched ruin, ground to
dust;
And art forgotten in the dismal chaos
And love for beauty turned to
ghoulish lust.
Chaos, chaos, chaos-life and living,
State and church, and good and
God and He'll.
Flung, heaped together In seethlng
riot.
- With blood and powder adding tint
and smell =
How, and when, and who-we ask
and question: ::
And each man has a different rea-
son why.
Some blame kings and szars and war
ring kaisers
And some just heave loud and
windy sigh.
How and what and when, we endless
question:
And yet when all this play is done
and said.
Kings will honor God for those left
living,
And vultures thank the rulers-for
the dead.
And this we know, that kings will
pay the bankers
Land the limbless poor-the
blinded clerk
Ask the grace of heaven for their
service,
And then with glory send them
back to work.
Send them back to the roaring flame-
pits,
The airless shops, the holes that
know no day
And saved from danger Of the sudden
bullet
With slower method drain their
lives away.
Oh, ask not how, or when. or what
or whether
All for us to know when all is said
1s why it is that in war OF masters.
A million guileless workingmen lie
dead?
