THE COMRADE.
By Florence Earle Coates.

fAmong the soldiers of France there Is q
widespread and touching belief that at
Nancy, scissors Nprcs and in the Argonne
Form in White has passed unharmed
through shot and shell, comforting the
wounded and the dying
Who is this in ralment white
Walks across the field,
Midst the tcrrors Of the fight
Bears nor sword nor shield
STAYS the diving to defend,
Where can come no other fricndP
Who is this Of whom they tell,
beautiful and grave.
As from Heaven. 10 this Hell
Come the hurt to save?
Bearing them with tenderness,
Where can follow no distress?
Who is this that lifts them up
As they earthward sink,
Bids them, thirsting, from his cup
Euthanasia drink,
Opens TO their closing eyes
Healing visions Of the skies?
Is if the supreme Desire,
Answering their need?
Is it Faith that doth aspire,
Lifting them, indeed,
Up beyond all human strife,
TO its own immortal life?
Is it Hope, the deathless one,
To their broken hearts
Whispering Of Joys begun,
Fen as life departs;
Hope, the gift Of memories
Garnered at the mothers knees?
Is it, Friend and Healer, Thou
Vision pure and pale
Whom men, sorroWing look on now,
As they saw the Grail?-
Is it Thou their yearnings greet,
Unimaginably sweet?
On the blood-staned fields of France
What the diving view
Who can tell? All. all, perchancel
But this much IS true
There wherever Pain has trod
Comes the pitying love of God!
