If We Only Understood

If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts sll in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim eternal roughness
Seem, l wonder, just the same,
Should we help where now we hinder,
Should we pity where we blame?
All! we Judge each other hsrshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force
Knowing not the font of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grain of good,
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we would find it better
Just to Judge all actions good!
We should love each other better
If we only understood.

Hang on to Your Grit!

Don't give up hoping when the ship goes
down;
Grab spar or something-just refuse to
drown.
Don't think that you're dying just because
you're hit,
Smile in the face of danger and hang on to
your grit.
Folks die too easy-they sort of fade away,
Make little error and give up in dismay;
Kind of man that's needed is he of ready wit
To laugh at pain and trouble and keep up
his grit. Selected

And start this old world on hike
Of progress double quick. =
Slow legislating would give way
To swift and sure ukase.
Both sword and pen I'd bring in play
All evils to erase,
And of this bourgeosie working day

In what had to do:
I'd place effects before their cause
And make the world anew,
Repeal all economic laws
And laws of nature, too.
But woe! Alas! My heart is sick,
And this the truth that pains:

No hope of it remains.

The Surrender of the Hun

Ship after ship, and every one with high
resounding name,
From the robber-nest of Heligoland the
German war fleet came;
Not victory or death they sought, but a
rendezvous of shame!
Sing out, sing out,
A Joyful shout,
Ye lovers of the sea!
The "Kaiser" and the ''Kaiserin, {"
The "Koenig" and the ''Prinz, +"
The potentates of piracy,
Are coming to surrender,
And the ocean shall be free.
They never dared the final fate of battle on
the blue;
Their sea-wolves murdered merchantmen
and Knocked the dying crew,
They stained the wave with maryr-blood,
but-we sent our transports through!
What flags are these that dumbly droop
from the gaff O. the mainmast tallf
The black of the kaiser's iron cross, the red
of the empires fallf
Come down, come down, ye pirate flags
yea, strike your colors alli
The Union Jack and The Tricolor and the
Starry Flag O. the West
Shall guard the fruit of Freedoms war and
the victory confessed;
The flags of the brave and just and free
shall rule on the oceans breast.
Sing out, sing out,
A joyful shout,
Ye lovers of the sea!
The "Kalser" and the "Kaiserin, -
The "Koenig' and the ''Prinz, -
The robber lords of death and sin,
Have come to their surrender,
And the ocean shall be free,

She didn't join
To make some coin;
For sake of fun or spree.
She didn't roam
Away from home
And comfort cross the sea;
She didn't haft
To dodge the draft,
Tho she's but twenty three.
She came because
[She tho't] it was
The place she ought to be.
She's where the boys
Make lots of noise,
And shells make lots of gas;
She always meets
With lots of eats
The wounded as they pass.

She never gives no sass;
She's our best bet,
Our little pet

They do not dwell in tents;
In house and school, in shop and field
Arise their battlements.
They do not wear a warriors dress
Nor march to thrilling drums,
Yet mighty in their lowliness
They fight till Wrong succumbs.
The Soldiers of the Humble Deeds,
Who save the light and heat;
Who keep with joy the holy feast
That gives the starving meat.
The woman whose swift needles clothe
The bearer of her lance;
Yea, every praying, toiling heart
Defends our flag in France!

They hide their wounds and grief
And guard against despair and doubt
The forts of their belief.

From them its heroes draw the strength
