There's hush upon the city, and it's jar

All its thoughts are bent IN silence on the

II is watching, it is waiting, and II cannot
choose but dwell
On the dust-brown lines IN Plcardy that
front the hordcs OF hell
Spring is pulsing in our gardens. bul We
hardly feel its breath;
Through the song OF thrust and hnnet
throbs the choral ode Of Death;
And we walk like men who wander IN some
dreams mysterious maze,
administrative, half unconscious, through
the old familiar ways.
Hope, with doubt and fear contending,
while our hearts are strained and
tense
AS We count the fateful minutes IN the
anguish of suspense:
And a prayer is brcathed to heaven from
the million lips that say,
God Of Battles shield our England and
her soldier sons this day.
