IN SPITE OF WAR.

am spite of war, in spite of death,
In spite of all mans sufferings,
Something within me laughs and
sings,
And must praise with all my breath,
In spite of war, in spite Of hate,
Llacs are blooming at my gate,
Tulips are tripping down the path
In spite of war, in spite of wrath,
'Couragep the morning glory saith
'Reioirier the daisy murmureth;
And Just to live is so divine
When pansies lift their eyes to mine.
"The clouds are romping with the
sea
And flashing waves call back to me
That naught is real but what is fair,
That everywhere and everywhere
A glory Iiveth through despair.
Though guns ma roar and cannon
boom,
Roses are born and gardens bloom.
"My spirit still may light its flame
At that same torch whence poppies
came,
Where mornings altar Whitley burns
Lilies may lift their silver urns.
In spite of war, in spite of shame.
"And in my ear whispering breath
Wake from the nightmare Look
and see
That life is naught but ecstasy
In spite of war, in spite Of death! F"
