THE RED CROSS

By EDGAR 4. GUEST l am too old to share the fight; Too many years have come and
 gone Since first I saw the morning light. My youth has been and travelled
 on, I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll l am too old to join the line, Far-flung today that truth shall
 live; may not die for what is fine, But l am not too old to give am not yet so old that I Have drifted from the world
 apart still can hear the helpless cry, And mercy still can reach my
 heart.
 The burden that our youth must
 bear, And I thank God that can say The Red Cross is my symbol
 there. am too old to bear a lance, Across the shell-torn Flanders
 field may not go where troops advance And deaths grim terrors are re-
 vealed; But l can hear the helpless call And can serve them while l
 live; And I thank God that through it all l shall not be too old to give.
