Victory
BY Alfred Noyes.
There's but one gift that all our dead
One git that men can give. and
Unless We. too, can burn with that
OF sacrifice; die to the things that
| seem;
Die to the little hatreds; die to greed :
Die to the old isnoble selves We
Die to the base contempts of sect and
creed.
And rise again. like these. with
souls as true.
Nay tsince these died before their
task was finished)
Attempt new heights. bring even
their dreams to birth
Build US that better world. oh. not
| by one true splendor that they
planned on earth.
And that's not done by sword. or
tongue. or pen,
There's but one way. God make US
better men.
