THE PACIFIST,

THE PAclFIsT.
Speak gently to the paciflst,
And do not mind his drivel:
He's really very fond of war
Provided Il be civil.
The pacifist is keen to fight;
To say he's not is idle.
He cannot get enough of strife
If it be fratricidal.
His right hand carries gentle peace
For foreign folk who vex us.
But with his left he loves to lab
His brothers solar plexus.
For liberty OF every kind
A passion he discloses,
And dearly hates all tyranny
Save that which he imposes.
He loves to lash his fellow-cit,
And purge his soul of error.
He constitutes the rank and file
In every Reign of Terror.

FOR HONOR AND FOR HER.

Somewhere a woman, thrusting fear
away
Faces the future bravely for your
sake,
Tolls on from dawn till dark; from day
to day
Fights back her tears, nor heeds the
bitter aches;
She loves you, trusts you, breathes In
prayer your name:
Soil not, her faith in you by sin or
shame.
heart, wife
Waits, betwixt hopes and fears, for
your return;
Her kiss, her words, will cheer you in
the strife.
When death itself confronts you,
grim and stern;
But let her image all your reverence
When base temptations scorch you
with their flame.
Somewhere a woman watches thrilled
with pride;
Shrined in her heart, you share a
place with nonA:
She tolls. she waits. she prays, TIL
side by side
You stand together when the battles
done.
Oh, keep for her dear sake a stainless
name,
Bring back to her a manhood free from
shame!
