The signal. La Breioque"-"Aii Clear :"
What grace
OF angel voices seems to choir the Joy
OF that relief the lifting bugles cry!
An clear mot for this night alone
they call.
But ring like silver trumpets Of the
dawn
That soon shall break on all earth's
rosy peaks
And flood her anguished valley. with
its gold.
All. God. make haste to nll their
prophecy.
"All clear" for faith once more,
against black doubt,
For gladness in the place of bitter
dread,
For radiant hope against an loss and
grief.
For brotherhood against all strife and
hate,
For teHde- love to fuse mems hungry
hearts.
'All clear for freedom Of the quest
ing mind
From gives and shackles of bleak
tyranny.
To close in ecstasy with living truth
For freedom of the body from false
shame
To leap and dance and run its shining
race,
And WOO gloom wearied eyes to 10y
again,
Refreshed with SPLENDID Of its lowell
ness;
For freedom Of the soul from fear
Of men,
To lean in rapture on the breast of
God.
